[pptp-server] Required encryption is broken

[robert]

Encryption does work for me with the setup you describe.  A really big shot 
in the dark: You must have the correct network options picked when you did a 
make on the kernel.  A configuration set that does work can be found at 
http://home.swbell.net/berzerke/linux241 (It was originally designed for the 
2.4.1 kernel, but works fine with 2.4.2.)  You should definately check the 
processor type and change that if needed.  It is set for AMD k6-2.  Leave 
everything else alone and recompile the kernel and see if this kernel works.  
If so, you know where the problem lies.  Don't delete your current kernel 
however, unless you are sure you want to.
