[pptp-server] Fwd: pptp client problem

[Gord Belsey]

I've got the exact smae set up at a customer site.  The key is using
separate option files for PPPoE and PPTP.

Run PPPoE first.  You don't mention who's PPPoE client you use, but there
should be an option to specify the option file (say, options.pppoe).  After
you have that link up, then run pptp with it's own option file.  The flag
is -o.

I found that the options for PPPoE are not compatible with those required
for the PPTP client.

Hope this helps
