[pptp-server] LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

[Chris Herrmann]

Many thanks to Mikael Lönnroth, who correctly identified that a
firewall/router somewhere along the way was blocking it. Fixed the rules,
and now I'm getting a little further...

is the fact that it can't find ppp-compress-18 causing it to bomb out?
ppp-compress-18 is aliased to ppp_mppe , which was in the kernel source
tree, but not in /lib/modules/2.4.8/....
