You have to try with 1.1.x as from 0.6 to 1.0.x the netfilter modules for 
pptp either got dropped or never added - can't remember which.

Get a DL 1.1.x from one of our mirrors:
ftp://ftp.tugraz.at/mirror/devil-linux/devel/testing/
ftp://xenia.sote.hu/pub/mirrors/devil-linux/devel/testing/
ftp://ftp.univ-lille1.fr/pub/os/linux/distributions/devil-linux/devel/testing/
ftp://ftp.devil-linux.org/pub/devel/testing/

You will need to load the following modules in /etc/init.d/firewall.rules:
   ip_conntrack_proto_gre
   ip_conntrack_pptp
   ip_nat_pptp
   ip_nat_proto_gre

Then you need to allow connection on tcp port 1723. When opening pptp 
connections from the internet to your pptp server behind the firewall you 
will probably need to do port-forwarding on this port. Have not tested the 
later case, only from inside to pptp server in the internet.
