installing "pptpd" went like a charm--but i can't get the config
script to run:

        # apt-get install pptpd
        Reading Package Lists... Done

        The following extra packages will be installed:

presumably all known dependencies are now met, but--

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #21 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
:
Looking to configure your Debian NETWORK SETTINGS? Look at the
file /etc/network/interfaces (try "man interfaces" for more
info). Then "ifup -a" to reload your settings, and "ifconfig" to
display them. (Also check out "apt-get install ipmasq"!)
