[pptp-server] PPTP on Mandrake 7.2

Mandrake is using ppp-2.4.0 in their 7.2 distribution.  It
apparently includes PPTP, but not the MPPE encryption piece
that's needed to talk to an NT PPTP server.  The MPPE patch
for the previous PPP version does not apply to the Mandrake
sources.  (It partially succeeds, but some of the rejects
fail because the file being patched has changed drastically.)

Is anybody working on porting the MPPE patch to the 2.4.0
version of PPP?  Would I be better off just removing the
Mandrake rpm's and building/patching the previous version
by hand?

Any suggestions will be welcomed!

Thanks!

Paul Allen
