[pptp-server] Trying to apply ppp_mppe_compressed_data_fix.diff

[robert]

Two suggestions: First, use pptpd v1.1.2.  Yes, I know it's labeled as 
development, but so far, all reports are it's stable and easier to use than 
1.0.1.  Second, the ppp-2.4.x patches are for 2.4 kernels, not 2.2 kernels.  
Unless you want to upgrade your kernel (and a few other things), stick with 
ppp 2.3.x.
