But despite the ideas I get from that combination ( connecting to Windows networks using PPTP tunnels ) there is some other usefule implementation of PPTP. Austria and France ( and some Asian countries ) use for there xDSL connections hardware from Alcatel. And this hardware enforces PPTP upon the users. On RH7.3 I was not able to use my modem. The problem was somewhere underneath the routing ( I was able to get on the machine from the internet, but not from the machine into the internet ). PPTP is just a second method for xDSL connections and needs some different configsettings which are not so hard to implement. Just wanted to know if this is being planned by RH or not. regards, Roland
