No, if you're on the client side than you shouldn't be using PoPToP. You need
the Linux pptp client:

http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/Projects/PPTP/

There are also packages for it on http://w3.rufus.org.

Once you have the package installed you want to make your /etc/ppp/options look
something like:

user jbodnar
password xxxxxxxx
noauth
lock
defaultroute

And then setup /etc/ppp/chap-secrets like:

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
jbodnar * xxxxxxx *

Then do:

$ su
$ pptp 111.11.11.11 user jbodnar
$ route add -net 192.168.1.0 gw 192.168.1.112
