Ahh! Thanks!

First I tried to use pptp from alioth, but that did not work, so as a
last resort I tried to run the 32bit versions and voila! They worked!
:-)

I just installed ia32-libs:
ld-linux.so.2 -> /emul/ia32-linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2 is there
# ldd pptp
        not a dynamic executable

Well, those binaries are possibly linked statically, but it works :-)

Thanks & best regards,
Hannes.
