I'm not that familiar with the libalias code (erik@whistle.com is more familiar), but am familiar with PPTP. Are you swizzling the TCP stream (port 1723) at all? If not, then it's probably not going to work .. or at least, not when two clients use the same Call ID. PPTP is like active mode FTP in that the Call ID (FTP -> port #) is embedded in the TCP stream and must be swizzled. Unlike FTP however, the TCP stream won't shrink or expand. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
