[pptp-server] ppp_mppe not loading mandrake 8.2

[Joe Ward]

okay thanks to richard I have finally got mandrake 8.2 to patch and compile.
I dindt' have any errors in the compile or making and installing the
modules. using 2.4.18-6mdk kernel from mandrake. also using the pppd and
pptpd sources and the patches which were downloaded from:
http://www.advancevpn.com/en/download_other.html

I have a huge problem though  ppp_mppe is NOT loading!!!!!!   I know the
module is in the proper location (using modprobe -l |grep ppp)  I have even
gone so far as to us insmod to load it (I get a warning about tainting the
kernel, but that's it).  but still no encrption.   I can get my win2k client
to connect if I turn off encryption but I get a 741 error if I have
encription on.  I cannot find any errors relating to ppp in the boot.log
nore do I see anything that tells me I have a miscompiled module.   below
are the file snipets that may or may not help.
