At the moment there are sometimes problems with renewing of leases for the interface (the
IP for the interface is delivered by dhcp and has to be renewed in regular periods). Hanging
up and reconnecting via imonc does not work well by now. Help by providing patches or as a
tester is highly appreciated.
With xdsl two further options exist for pptp:
PPTP_CLIENT_REORDER_TO The pptp-client which is used for xdsl under certain cir-
cumstances must rearrange and buffer packets. It usually waits 0.3 seconds for a packet.
By setting this variable you can vary the timeout between 0.00 (no buffer) and 10.00.
Times always must be provided with two decimales.
PPTP_CLIENT_LOGLEVEL Here you can define how much debug output will be produced
by the pptp-client. Values are 0 (little), 1 (default) und 2 (much).
