somewhere along the way I commented out "mppe-stateless".
not good. :-)

I only realized it only after reading something from
Microsoft's web site which explicitly stated that MPPE without 
the "stateless" option was designed for phsyical point-to-point
connections but would not work well over larger networks
like the Internet.

maybe you want to include that into the faq ? from
the masters themselves.

it seems my WAN connection between client and server
was loosing more packets than average which
made standard mpppe quickly unusable.
