After a few days of trying to get PoPToP to work with PPP, my new French
Freind Quentin discovered that the problem was having the pseudo-device gre
enabled.

Once I disabled this, things started to work via PPTP.

What is the difference between the pre protocol and this pseudo-device?

Just curious ...
