Hi all,

The solution proved to be a couple of errors sneaking into in the config
files for PoPToP. To save others from wasting a week of their time trying to
get a pptpd up and running in OpenBSD I should probably write a full howto
now... :) See if I get the time in a few weeks.

For now, here are my working config files for poptop-1.1.4.b4 with a Windows
XP built-in VPN client:

--------------------
/etc/pptpd.conf:
--------------------
option /etc/ppp/options.pptpd
localip 192.168.0.1
remoteip 192.168.0.200-192.168.0.249

--------------------
/etc/ppp/ppp:
--------------------
pptp:
 enable proxy
 set dns 192.168.0.2
 set ifaddr 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.200-192.168.0.249
 set timeout 0
 enable mschapv2
 disable ipv6cp
 accept dns

--------------------
/etc/ppp/options.pptpd:
--------------------
proxyarp
+MSChap-V2
mppe-128
mppe-stateless

Aside from this I leave "/etc/ppp/options" empty, just in case.

If you decide to use these, please make sure to alter all IP adresses to
suit your network... :)
