RE: pptp and kernel 2.4.4




I've upgraded to 2.4.4 from 2.4.2 today (mainly because of raiserfs
fixes), and didn't notice anything wrong with pptp. I did several
connects/disconnects, and everything was smooth. In fact, I didn't
notice anything wrong with any other application also, although I didn't
do any extensive testing... My box is Intel ISP1100, P3-800/128MB, used
primarily as router/proxy/mail server.

Haim.
