Great - thanks for figuring this out! The next release will include this
patch. I have to add that I really didn't have much motivation and much
less the ability to test with both PPTP client and server because ADSL in
Switzerland uses PPPoE, so no problems there.

Umm, it should - m0n0wall uses NAT rules for GRE and TCP 1723 to localhost
when the PPTP server is enabled; turns out that this is required to make
it work with some outbound NAT setups (I remember there being a case where
the first incoming packet of a PPTP session (TCP) was not NATed, but the
first outgoing one was, so obviously the session could not be
established).
