[pptp-server] Throwing in the Towel

[Kenneth E. Lussier]

I would have to agree with Mark. The PPTP server should be running some
sort of packet filtering for additional security, but in my opinion, a
firewall should be a firewall and nothing else. It shouln't be providing
any kind of services. Not to mention, by going with NT, you're going to
have to deal with their "embraced and extended" version of pptp.
