[pptp-server] Kernel 2.2.16-12 and inability to get PPTP working

	I just put pinstripe(linux beta 7) on a machine because it had both
ip_gre and ip_masq_pptp modules compiled into the kernel but I still can't
get pptp to work correctly.  I have a win2k machine behind my firewall that
uses masquerading to connect through the new server to a pptp machine on the
net.  There is really nothing distinct about the messages in the syslog but
here they are:

Aug  9 22:18:44 hercules kernel: ip_masq_pptp_tcp(): OUT_CALL_REQUEST
192.168.1.2 -> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX CID=0 MCID=EE51
Aug  9 22:18:44 hercules kernel: ip_demasq_pptp_tcp(): OUT_CALL_REPLY
192.168.1.2 -> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX CID=0 MCID=EE51
Aug  9 22:19:21 hercules kernel: ip_masq_pptp_tcp(): CALL_DISCONNECT_NOTIFY
192.168.1.2 -> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX CID=0 MCID=EE51

If anyone has successfully used the ip_masq_pptp, I would appreciate some
help.  

I don't see any packets being sent over GRE via ifconfig -a and I definitely
have port 1723 open.  I also have the ip address of the pptp server in my
hosts.allow.  Do ip_gre or ip_masq_pptp take some parameters?

Thanks in advance.
