This version of linux-pptp builds a pptp client and server.

The server is run from inetd with the following entry:

  pptp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/pptp_server pptp local-endpoint

The local-endpoint argument may be either the host name or IP address for
the server side end point of all PPTP connections.

Client address are distributed based on the last two characters of the
pseudo device name used for the PPP session.  The following host table 
provides a "pool" of 10 pptp client addresses:

  192.168.90.1     pptp-p0
  192.168.90.2     pptp-p1
  192.168.90.3     pptp-p2
  192.168.90.4     pptp-p3
  192.168.90.5     pptp-p4
  192.168.90.6     pptp-p5
  192.168.90.7     pptp-p6
  192.168.90.8     pptp-p7
  192.168.90.9     pptp-p8
  192.168.90.10    pptp-p9
