[ale] pptp and ppp continued

[Joe Steele]

You say you can't get pptp to call a script.  But aren't you already 
using a chat script to control your modem, telling it to dial a number 
and so forth?  That's where they are saying the 'CLIENT' string should 
be put, as part of an expect/send pair.

Yeah, I caught that too, although I could never get the pptp binary to
call a script to send the CLIENT string to the server.  I tried 'init
script' and 'connect script'.  After each completed, pptp would exit
indicating the script had failed.
