Hi!

I can't find the documentation, that i used to configure pp(t)p anymore,
but the shorewall-doc discribes this system too:
(/usr/share/doc/shorewall-doc/html/PPTP.htm#PPTP_ADSL)

"Some ADSL systems in Europe (most notably in Austria) feature a PPTP
server built into an ADSL âModemâ. In this setup, an ethernet interface
is dedicated to supporting the PPTP tunnel between the firewall and the
âModemâ while the actual internet access is through PPTP (interface
ppp0). "

the modem (i.e. the zyxel router) itself has ip 10.42.0.1
10.0.0.138 is the ip of the pptp-server in the modem.
eth0 receives its ip over dhcp from, again, the modem. (10.42.something)

And even if it were a missconfiguration (or firewalling-issue):
there is no reason for a call manager to be left over after the
pp(t)p-connection is shut down for whatever reason. As long as there is
no old call manager, everything (including authentification) works fine.

Regards,

Robert
