Having received no replies on this issue, should I assume this is the
wrong place to report it, that I reported it in the wrong format, that
the patch is too hacky for consideration, or no one has time to care
(yet)?

Please pardon my top-posting...  This MUA sucks.

[BUG] ppp_mppe discards 50% of packets from some servers

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

When I connect to a server using MPPE, I receive about every other
packet with the FLUSHED bit turned off. These packets are dropped by
ppp_mppe.c just like the SPEC says they should be. I am not able to
maintain tcp connections through the VPN with these packets being
discarded.

I found a patch discussed here:
