[pptp-server] Error with select() ?...

[Don Lindner]

Running PoPToP on a Mandrake (redhat variant) 7.0 box -- have used rpm as
well as compiled, have compiled ppp with patches, etc per doc at
http://www.moretonbay.com/vpn/releases/PoPToP-RedHat-HOWTO.txt -- pap/chap
et all seem OK...

Error on Win98 side:

Dial-Up Networking could not negotiate a compatible set of network protocols
you specified in the Server Type settings.
Check your network configuration in the Control Panel then try the
connection again.

Error on server side:

I'm stumped -- and VPN support for MS clients coming in via the net is
critical to our future sales of Linux as a "turnkey" small business server.

I'll personally buy pizza and a 12-pack for whoever can resolve this one...
