Hi,

I've no experience with pptpd - it has always seemed like a poor and 
old-fashioned sort of tool that is only used because Windows supports it 
natively.  It still may be the best tool for the job, but if you have 
the option you should look at OpenVPN.  It is easy to configure, runs on 
just about anything, and can be made to run over any port if your ISP or 
firewall is being a problem.  Maybe you'll have more luck with it.

mvh.,

David
