[pptp-server] pptp-server connected via adsl+pptp

[R. de Vroede]

Wolfgang,

It is possible to use both pptpc and pptpd, but beware:
when pptpc starts, pptpd should not run. When pptpc stops, pptpd should
not run. I've experienced very nasty kernelpanics.
So the way to go is:
start pptpc
start pptpd
--regular operation of server--
stop pptpd
stop pptpc

Your problem with making a pptp-connection through a masquerading
gateway should disappear when you apply the pptp netfilter helper patch
to the gateway's kernel. see: 
http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html
for more information.

Richard de Vroede
