OK thanks I'll try this one. I did eventually find an example which I
used and it did work but there were some errors logged. The
config I used included:

>enable mppe * stateful

in the ppp.conf file, but that generated the following in ppp.log

>Oct 20 12:52:38 field ppp[53548]: Command: loop: enable mppe * stateful

The connection did appear to be encrypted though, at least the XP
client said it was.
