Yes. Search the openbsd-misc archives (start at the bottom of http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html); there have been several threads about the PPTP client over the past couple of years and some of those include sample configuration information. -- "On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament!], `Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." -- Charles Babbage
