Wohoo!  Thanks--man, to think all this time that I never bothered
seeing if it was PPPD that was the problem--thank you.  No more errors
after recompiling PPTP.

IPX always was present in the kernel--it was just the old kernel
versions that weren't building IPX as a module properly--it was
working fine when in the kernel, apparently.

Now, to test a little Warcraft2 action and see if it's really working
:)
