I am sure it works with pppd, but ever since mpd-netgraph, I have completely abandonded pptpclient. Persoanlly, I hated getting pppd to work when I always used Brian's ppp. I never compiled any ppp pseudo-devices in my kernel up until I needed pptpclient ;-). I would suggest if you're having problems with it, and you have a system that supports Netgraph, to move over to mpd-netgraph. It even comes with great examples for setting up both a PPTP server and client.
