Actually, I find that if I use require-mppe in my options.pptp file (which I
thought I didn't have patched) and when I estabilish the connection I get..

Aug  3 09:36:47 stargate pppd[15532]: Connect: ppp1 <--> /dev/ttya0
Aug  3 09:36:48 stargate PPTPCD: Connected.
Aug  3 09:36:50 stargate pppd[15532]: Remote message:
S=1C7CD531B89C1EF62959D4C60257352834E8E64A
Aug  3 09:36:50 stargate kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered 
Aug  3 09:36:50 stargate pppd[15532]: Deflate (15) compression enabled
Aug  3 09:36:50 stargate pppd[15532]: LCP terminated by peer (encryption
negotiation failed)
Aug  3 09:36:53 stargate pppd[15532]: Connection terminated.
Aug  3 09:36:55 stargate pppd[15532]: Exit.

Encryption failed.. yet ppp_mppe is loaded. is there any way of finding out
why this is happening after the second connection after a reboot? I can't
keep recompiling/patching and then rebooting the kernel...

thanks,
