Reproduce for your Life After getting to know the major players and the code in question, we wanted to identify where exactly - in what stage of the connection process - the problem occurs. To check if the software (pptp) is at fault, we tested the modem in both in windows, and using a different PPTP client for linux (PPPoE, for example) In order to check if the hardware is at fault, we tested pptp with a different modem. Now, we know that the modem is working, since we managed to connect with it in windows. We also know that pptp is working, since we managed to connect with it using a different modem. So what do we do next?
