I can actually ping all the relevant numbers. I can even get a web
page (the local apache) from the pptp server!

I am on Winders now fetching the source from the project's home page.
How would I go aboout fetching debs (and all deps) from the repos? I
always find matching the versions and deps and cpus to be a real
chore.

That is my very next stop actually. I am getting so damn fed-up with
this situation.

Well, thanks for the suggestions. I will hack-on with that kvpnc and
see where it gets me.
