Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

I try to connect to a (windows) pptp server that requires mppe stateful encryption, but this does not work. Here is a extract for 'tail -f /var/log/ syslog':
Jul 9 19:22:21 localhost pppd[6934]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2

Jul 9 19:22:24 localhost pppd[6934]: Connection terminated.

During the configuration, I checked: Require MPPE encryption + Require 128 bit MPPE encryption. I see no way to require stateful encryption. Am I wrong or is this a bug?
