Anton, some things too look for here. Are the remote systems using Win XP?
If so, are their firewalls configured to allow traffic from your network on
TCP ports 1723? Also, is GRE being blocked at any point between your mpd
system and their end? If it just stopped working, has anyone placed a
firmware firewall device in recently? Many of them that I've run across
recently don't even know what GRE is so a specific entry has to be made to
allow protocol 47 to pass freely in order to get pptp to function properly.

Hope it helps.
