The 1.0.2 PPTP VPN client has a bug that can sometimes cause the
connection to fail.
The development of the Linux PPTP client was suspended for a while
because Scott Ananian moved on to other things. It's now being moved
to a CVS repository so that development may resume. There should
hopefully be a 1.0.3 version out soon that fixes this bug and adds
some other improvements.
Here's the patch for the bug if you cannot wait that long...
