If I build ppp with USE="mppe-mppc", I can establish a session but no packets flow.

If I build without USE="mppe-mppc", the server rejects the connection. Microsoft's server apparently requires compression if if you tell it not to.

If I use an older kernel, with the patch, I can connect more or less reliably.

I did get it to work with a 'newer' kernel, at the time I used the first gentoo-sources to be pre-patched but don't know the version it was.

If you are using the same ppp settings for both self and pre patched kernels that is a good place to start, because there were subtle differences in the syntax,
Code:
     mppe required,stateless
became
Code:
    require-mppe


It was running to a router, pretending to be a MS VPN.
