[pptp-server] GRE: read error: Protocol not available

[Murali K. Vemuri]

hi,

attached file is the message posted when the connection fails due to
mppe-128.
it has another curious message as well: " cannot find eth0 for proxy
arp".
also, i was digging a bit more into the PPTP error. when i use 1.1.2, i
get the error
" PTY read or GRE write failed"
if i use 1.0.1 i get " error with select ()".
any ideas?
