	This is the syslog dump (edited slightly to protect hostnames) that I got
as of last night when I tried to connect remotely.  This is what I got when
trying to connect from a Win2000 machine to the VPN server.

pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
pppd[1493]: Using interface ppp0
pppd[1493]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
pppd[1493]: MSCHAP-v2 peer authentication succeeded for gothamftp
pppd[1493]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp
pppd[1493]: local  IP address 192.168.200.240
pppd[1493]: remote IP address 192.168.200.251
pppd[1493]: MPPE 128 bit, stateless compression enabled
pppd[1493]: MPPE 128 bit, stateless compression enabled
pppd[1493]: LCP terminated by peer (gM-^AZg^@<M-Mt^@^@^@^@)
pppd[1493]: Modem hangup
pppd[1493]: Connection terminated.
pppd[1493]: Connect time 0.4 minutes.
pppd[1493]: Sent 1558 bytes, received 4073 bytes.
pppd[1493]: Exit.

Other times, I'll just get this:
pppd[1771]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
pppd[1771]: Using interface ppp0
pppd[1771]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
pppd[1771]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
pppd[1771]: Connection terminated.
pppd[1771]: Exit.

	The configuration goes through a FreeBSD 4.3 firewall, over natd, to get to
the VPN server.  These are the current flags to natd:

redirect_proto gre 192.168.200.65
redirect_port tcp 192.168.200.65:pptp pptp

	I may need more than this, but I know that 3.4 didn't need anything beyond
a port redirect and a pptpalias flag.  pptpalias, however, is no longer an
option for the FreeBSD natd implementation.

	Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Thank you,
