So people were confused about which PPP implementation can interface
with net/pptp? I'm not surprised.

I intend to remove the net/pptp port altogether unless someone can
provide a working configuration using pppd(8).
There are plans to add a PPTP client to npppd/pipex. So the lack
of PPTP client support will hopefully be a temporary situation.

And, as goes without saying, if possible, please consider using a different
protocol. PPTP's weaknesses have been well understood for a long time now.
Much better alternatives are available in the base system and the ports tree.
