Nope; I have a monitor tell me when PPTP connects/disconnects, and I get
the ENOBUFS thing while it's connected.

Also... while I could see ENOBUFS if the PPTP link got backed up
(temporary restriction of bandwidth, etc.) --- I'd prefer some kind of
throttling instead of an error return that makes programs die, though,
if possible --- it doesn't only affect programs making connections
through the PPTP link; *every* network connection is affected.  This
seems doubly excessive.
