[pptp-server] MPPE 128 Bit Compression?? What happen to Encryption???

[Jerry Vonau]

Hey all:

>>MPPE 128 bit, stateless receive compression enabled<<

Is the receive part not an error?? That would suggest
that encryption is for receive only, not transmit....

Should it not be:

MPPE 128 bit, stateless compression enabled

Just a thought....
