I don't know. Some more digging brought me to: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml#chap_failure http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-redhat.html Where it suggests that I run: [yoursys pptp]# pptp-command Which I tried to find by: [root@localhost ~]# locate -u [root@localhost ~]# locate pptp-command [root@localhost ~]# With no luck. I also played around a bit with kppp which I discovered 1) exists, and 2) is installed on my system, however, I can't get it to connect either- I can't even get it to contact the technion's servers. Thanks for all your help so far. I really, really, do appreciate Paul and Kostass and Aleksander and everybody else who contributes to the list.
