PPTP woes

So I'm adding PPTP to a 3662 in hopes of being able to kill of an NT
machine. I only mention it as a disclaimer that I know perfectly well I
need to migrate users to IPSec or atleast L2TP.

When making hte connection, the vpdn comes up, and the virtual-access
interface is created. However, the conneciton is dying during PPP
negotiation:

14w2d: Vi1 VPDN: O out
14w2d: Vi1 LCP: TIMEout: State REQsent
14w2d: Vi1 LCP: O CONFREQ [REQsent] id 37 len 15
14w2d: Vi1 LCP: AuthProto MS-CHAP (0x0305C22380)
14w2d: Vi1 LCP: MagicNumber 0xB401B18C (0x0506B401B18C)
14w2d: Vi1 VPDN: O out
14w2d: Vi1 LCP: TIMEout: State REQsent
14w2d: Vi1 LCP: O CONFREQ [REQsent] id 38 len 15
14w2d: Vi1 LCP: AuthProto MS-CHAP (0x0305C22380)
14w2d: Vi1 LCP: MagicNumber 0xB401B18C (0x0506B401B18C)

It will loop on that for a number of times until the Win2k machine gives
up and drops. There is never a CONFACK or even CONFNAK. Looking at the
TAC, the only time I see this sited is when line speeds are munged or
other misconfiguration -- it all points ot the lower layer, which in this
case gives the pretense of working.

The router is currently running 12.2(1) w/ lots of bells and whistles
(c3660-jk9o3s-mz.122-1). All of the virtual access config is straight out
of the 'PPTP with MPPE' configuration guide.

Any ideas where I should start looking? This has been a bit of a pet
project that I've been tripping up on the same thing everytime I go back
and revisit it (but haven't cared enough to really dig in). Have I just
been staring at it too long and am missing something foolish?

Thanks.
