Bug Description
Binary package hint: ppp
I am using PoPToP PPTP VPN server on Kubuntu 6.06. There is a problem configuring it. There are no a way to enable mppe (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) but requiring it. As a result serving client with or without mppe at the same time is not possible. If mppe is enabled by require-mppe-128 all clients must negotiate and support it otherwise the server disconnects. If require-mppe-128 option is not present on the command line or in the option file it cannot be negotiated as mppe is disabled by default (and by the way nomppe option does not make any sense in such a case) and clients requiresting mppe would not connect.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 alpha?
