1) Hmmm...couldn't get pap to work, but I'm not using the mppe
encryption yet.  The pap-secrets file was set up correctly (added the
line *	<servername>	""	*), the /etc/ppp/options file had 'require-pap',
and pptpd-options had 'require-pap' and '+pap' as well.  Services were
restarted.  Did I miss something?  Perhaps authentication via pam is a
possibility?

2)  Ok, I subscribed through http://www.moretonbay.com/vpn/pptp.html,
which looks to be a bit out of date.  I'll update my bookmark.

Thanks again,

Ken McCord
