Hi,

To build a configuration I followed the instructions in
http://www.vibres.com/pptp/example.html with the following variations
and hic - ups.

*   I built ppp and the kernel with the openssl mppe patch, the
mppe_data_fix patch and the pppsmb.pat.
*   Had to copy back the PPP_VERSION and PPP_MAGIC #defines back into
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_ppp.h after the ppp's make kernel did
its damage.
*    I'm using openssl-0.9.6 and needed to copy
/usr/src/openssl-0.9.6/crypto/rc4 into /usr/src/linux/drivers /net to
get the kernel to compile.

The trace I get that causes the client to report the above error is.
