[pptp-server] PPP dial outs to ISP fail

[graham at triad.net.au]

I have installed PoPToP onto a RedHat 6.1 system and got the VPN working
fine across our ethernet LAN. I then tried dialling out on the same PC to an
ISP and I got the result below.

I then wiped the Linux 6.1 and started from scratch, got the dialling to the
ISP on ppp0 going first. All works well until I apply the pptp rpm
(pptpd-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm). The same happens (ISP dial out on ppp0 fails).

I notice that the 4th line in messages says ppp ver 2.3.7, yet 2.3.10 is the
version on my RH 6.1 install CD.

Any ideas??
