[nflug] VPN client to server problem

The VPN client I'm trying to connect with is a pptp-linux version
1.5.0-5 on a Debian PPC 'sarge'
I don't know nearly enough as I should about VPN's, but all I want to be
is a client.

>From the errors gathered below the first three went away when I added a
ppp user, but the others remained
any help, clues, hints??

Thanks in advance,
Eric

I have a static IP through Adelphia

Here's my fun errors:
I replaced real names with ficticious names in quotes
*Establishing a PPTP connection with the command /usr/sbin/pptp
"vpn.host.domain" call "Name of Connection" ..*

*.. connection failed! Check the log messages below for information why.*

/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
/usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
/usr/sbin/pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)
