The pkg-descr for mpd is as follows: ..."Mpd is a user-mode implementation of the PPP protocol for FreeBSD. It supports several of the numerous PPP sub-protocols and extensions, such as: Multi-link PPP capability PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAP authentication DES encryption "... It says nothing of PPTP. If uo have manged to get it going with PPTP clients I would be very grateful if you could supply me with the basic details and some sample configs. I would be happy to write the HOWTO and post it for everyone else....... ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Durham Date: Friday, March 15, 2002 7:47 am Subject: Re: VPN tunnels using gif interface > On Tuesday 12 March 2002 12:55 am, BSD Freak wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > > > I hope you all having a good day...... > > > > Well I've got a bit of a dilemma....
