[pptp-server] Telnet or SSH over Pptp - VPN, Timed Out!!!

[Richard E Blauvelt]

I assume you are trying to use a Windows telnet 
client. I have had no problems using Hyperterminal 
on Windows9x/2000 to connect to the PoPToP server.

Hyperterminal is packaged with MS Windows, but is
a stripped-down version that may not include telnet.
The version I use is a free (for personal use) upgrade
available for download from the developer, Hilgraeve:
