[pptp-server] MPPE died

[Justin Kreger]

We use alot of Intels where I work, and alot of RealTek 8139 based
stuff.  Both work VERY well.  Before I started my current job, I had
never seen a 3com fail, but since I started working where I'm working now,
I've probilly seen half a dozen 3com cards fail.  We get the RTL8139 based
cards for under 30 bucks, but Intel eepro100s cost us like 40 bucks oem.

*shrug*
