VPN with MPD

[dlr at rhinointernet.com]

I am trying to get MPD working on one of my freebsd machines to enable VPN 
using PPTP. I have followed all of the instructions that I have found, but 
continue to get an error during the setup of the connection. Any help, or 
pointing to infromation would be appreciated.

Thanks,

david
