|Hello all:
|
|  I have a client who wants to set up multiple PPTP to my Linux server over
|their Internet line.  They use NAT to access the internet.
|
|  Can you have multiple NAT'd connections to the same PPTP server
|active at the
|same time?

Yes.

| If you can, how does the PPTP server tell the
|individual connections
|apart?
|

Each connection is assigned a different pty. You'll also see a different PPP
link appear on the server for each connection. This is why you need to
assign a RANGE of IP addresses for the remote connections to use in the
/etc/pptp.conf file.
