I'm in France and i use pptp-adsl-fr-1.0.2-8mdk (i know this is a
mandrake package and this is really wrong, i promise i wont use any mdk
package anymore !:) on a Red Hat 7.2. It works very well.
If you want it you can download it at
http://confiote.ath.cx/~anvil/pptp-adsl-fr-1.0.2-8mdk.src.rpm or
http://confiote.ath.cx/~anvil/pptp-adsl-fr-1.0.2-8mdk.i686.rpm
