Thanks. I had to edit out all of the mppe-* lines to get it working. I
thought I had applied the mppe patch with the debian package I installed for
it... Hmmm

Anyway, when connecting after the changes, I got this:

Dec 10 09:07:10 bluey pptpd[16484]: MGR: No free connection slots or IPs -
no more clients can connect!
Dec 10 09:07:10 bluey pptpd[16486]: CTRL: Client 144.132.140.185 control

connection finished
Dec 10 09:07:14 bluey pptpd[16486]: CTRL: Couldn't write packet to client.

So... It seems authentication isn't working... Is there anything I need to
fix?

Thanks.
