[pptp-devel] "MPPE required but not available"

[Douglas F. <dou...@ea...>]

Hi,
    I am attempting to get pptp working on redhat AS 3.1 -  I followed 
the 'complex' instructions  at 
http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-redhat-90-build.phtml, modprobe 
ppp-compress-18 loads with no errors.  I have tried pppd version 2.4.2 
and 2.4.3-4 - when I attempt to connect (log below) "MPPE required but 
not available" is the error message.

Does someone know what versions will work with redhat AS 3.1?
Please reply to me - I signed up for the list, but have not recieved an 
e-mail yet.

Thanks for your help,

Doug
