[pptp-server] Stalling Connection

[T.Shaw]

Seems ready for Prime time to me. I have had no problems connecting win98/winNT
Machine to my poptop VPN server running on my firewall at all.
got Multiple people connecting just fine. Only issue I still have is the
Browsing and name resolution of netbios names ( yes I have ms-wins in
/etc/ppp/options and yes I have a wins server setup that its pointing to).
but I suspect that that's a PPP thing and not a poptop thing.
(shrug)
Working like a champ for me.. Good work guys, you made me 'The MAN' at work..

I ran into this last night.  It was weird; I was in the midst of a
medium download (~200K) and the line stopped dead...

I still had the ssh connection, so I killed pptp and restarted; no
dice.  Shortly thereafter, the ssh connection went dead.  Came in this
morning; the pppd daemon had died.

Anyway, poptop is not quite ready for prime time :-( .  (Or maybe it's
MS that's not ready...)

I was connecting from a Win95 box with DUN 1.3.  Apparently, there is
also some issue with the Windows TCP/IP stack getting corrupted; I don't
know which causes which.  After the ssh connection went dead, I could no
longer even ping the internet, although my dial-up was still up.  A
reboot solved the problem.

Let me know what if anything I can do to help.  I need to get this
running rock solid in the next 3 months.
