[pptp-server] Linux Client?

I was fooling around to get this going, once it hit the magic combo that worked,
I didn't change anything and left what I had... I have password entries in the
chap-secrets, and ppp.options. I invoke it with the command line.   I'm really
not to sure which is correct, but I works for me.  The "Discarding out of order
packet" I found the cause to be in the /var/run/pptp/IP ADDRESS, if this is
there before you invoke the client then it fails.
