Intermittent failures with mpd VPN

[Jeff Leary]

Hm well answering my own question, I have discovered the problem
lies in my linksys router off my cable modem at home.  Suddenly
the "pptp pass-through" feature has become "pptp pass-through every so
often".  Upgrading the firmware didn't help.

The funny thing is, a co-worker of mine started to have the exact same
problem at the exact same time -- 50 miles away and with a different
router (d-link).

We both have the same home ISP, Comcast (a very sucky company btw),
which is really the only link between us.

mysterious.
