Basically, attempting to force any particular encryption strength for MPPE resulted in problems with establishing the PPPoE tunnel. Finally, I had to use this wildcard line for MPPE: set mppe * * (in ppp.conf) That finally worked, and Windows appears to negotiate 128-bit STATEFUL encryption only (which sucks for lossy links); it simply refuses to negotiate stateless MPPE, by the way. -Bosko
