[pptp-server] Want pptpd server to assign routes to clients when then connect

[fxgh]

Hi all:

I'm using my wife's machine, so if this comes out HTML,
I'm sorry inadvance.....  Mine is getting upgraded, woo hoo

I recall someone suggesting to use a ms tool....
ah here it is:

http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/2002-March/007867.html

Just to let everybody know you can still get to the old archives at:

http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/

You can search them at:

http://lists.schulte.org/search/search-pptp-server.html

Maybe a link from the new website would be helpful  ;-)
Just my 2 cents worth...

Hum,
In this case, I really don't know what you have to do.
Since that you want to add this route at client side, it's not trivial.
You can try to put at the server side some type of script to be executed in
the client when it connects.. but I've never done something like that.

Igor
