> i want to send broadcast-packet through a pptp-connection. any ideas
??

I won't bother to ask why, but this is generally a bad idea.  The only
networking software I know of that's broken enough to need to send
broadcast packets down a WAN link is Microsoft's file sharing...they
actually pitch their ability to route broadcast traffic as a feature,
not as a requirement of their broken protocols.  Even with M$
networking, however, there are ways around needing to tunnel broadcast
packets..

Anyway, check into L2TP (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol), which is the M$
mechanism used to pipe broadcast traffic across routers & WAN links.
There's a linux version of this available, which you should be able to
run on your LEAF system.  Sorry, but I don't recall the linux project
name offhand...a quick google search for linux and l2tp should point you
in the right direction...
