I'm not the original poster, but I've just yesterday finished patching the
Debian/woody ppp package to include mppe support (no smb-stripdomain yet).  I
can make this package available for download, but I'd first like to check w/
Michael Beattie about getting it included in the next official package
release.  Does anyone know of reasons why this mppe patch should not be
included in the upstream releases as well (e.g., crypto laws or patent
concerns)?
