Hi,

feature navigator is lying to me, I'm sure...

It claims that "PPTP plus MPPE" is supported in "IP Plus" images (or for
some platforms in "IP only").

Just tried on a few different boxes, and while all of those images *did*
accept things like "vpdn-group 1 / protocol pptp", none of them will
accept "ppp encrypt mppe ...", except for the 3DES image I had on one
of the IPSEC boxes.

So I would appreciate very much if someone would clarify this for me - is
the following assumption correct (in 12.2):

- IP only/IP plus (depending on platform) -> PPTP, but no encryption
- IP plus / DES ("8" images) -> PPTP with 40 bit encr.
- IP plus / 3DES ("9" images) -> PPTP with 40 or 128 bit encr.

The PPTP faq backs this ("You need crypto images for MPPE support"), so
maybe it's just the feature navigator that's kaput...

thanks,

gert
