[pptp-server] MPPE for Linux kernel 2.4.x and pppd-2.4.0

[Gill, Vern]

This IS the kernel patch file. The ppp-2.4.0-openssl-0.9.6-mppe.patch.gz
is the PPP patch file... You need both for it to work...
See ftp://ftp.binarix.com/pub/ppp-mppe/README.ASC for more info.

BTW, the following instructions are not correct;
It should be easy to apply: assuming you keep your linux source in
/usr/src/linux, just cd to /usr/src and do

zcat linux-2.4.0-openssl-0.9.6-mppe.patch.gz | patch -p1


This should be done in /usr/src/linux
					  ^^^^^

Enjoy

Kernel source?? That won't patch the kernel, but it patches pppd just
fine..??
