7.3.10.	The VPN link works for a while, but then stops working,
	and the /var/log/debug file shows the following:
		pppd[10544]: rcvd [Compressed data] 10 32 ae 68 c0 8e e1 92 ... 

	Solution: Patch the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.c file with
	the patch:

	http://www.vibrationresearch.com/pptpd/ppp_mppe_compressed_data_fix.diff

	and then recompile and reinstall the ppp_mppe.o module
