[pptp-server] Cant get PPTP to work over ADSL on RH7.2

[R. de Vroede]

Hi Coert,

pptpd is not what you're looking for, it's the server. You need a
client. Go to
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33063&release_id=48161
and get the client. For the newest version of ppp-mppe, go to
http://devel.linvision.com
