Linux or BSD box just can't handle 1 stably, let alone work at all. This is a drop-in replacement
I'm talking about : the network config is the same on the Netgear and the m0n0. Netfilter on Linux
appears to provision some nat-pptp connection tracking module which I have not tested because I
can't find a fw/floppy distro which handles them.

What we need for outbound PPTP is a PPTP proxy, like Frickin PPTP
(what a silly name...but seems to work well on pfsense)  Their website
explains why something like this is necessary.

I haven't checked how big it is, it might be feasible to add to m0n0wall.
