[pptp-server] Poptop Problems (again...)

Couple questions...
Background: I'm using pptp 1.0.1 (tried the newer release as well), red
hat 6.2, kernel 2.2.14, ppp 2.3.11.
i've installed poptop using the directions at
http://poptop.lineo.com/releases/PoPToP-RedHat-HOWTO.txt. basically, i've
followed up to step 4.0 (install poptop, not using encryption, so i don't
need to patch ppp/kernel, do i?).
when people attempt to log on (i've tried win98 and winME so far), they
get authenticated, but the connection immediately drops and windoze
prompts them to reconnect.
my questions are: what modules need to be loaded when poptop is running?
could someone list theirs? (esp. if they aren't using encryption). also,
are their any steps i'm missing? whenever i test, i always ACCEPT all
packets via IPCHAINS (do i need to exclusively accept port 1723 and
protocol 47).
i'm stuck...have been working on this for a while (as my senior project),
but don't know what to do/where to go next. the thing that puzzles me is
that i can connect (i.e. the tunnel is established), but then i
immediately get disconnected (usually the error reads:
...pptpd[1165]: Peer not authorized to use the remote address 192.168.1.70
...
...pptpd[1165]: Error reading from ppd: Input/output error
...pptpd[1165]: CTRL: GRE read or PTY write failed (gre, pty)=(5,4)
...
so far, i haven't seen anyone else come across the list with a (gre,
pty)=(5,4) error. can anyone tell me what that is or give me any pointers?
your help is much appreciated...
