Hi,
AFAIK, accel-ppp != accel-pptp.
accel-pptp - kernel module for speed-up pptp processing done by pppd.
accel-ppp - entirely new implementation of ppp written from scratch. No
pppd is used in this case.
So, if in your configuration, you need to use some other plugins for
pppd, you can't just switch from accel-pptp to accel-ppp, because
accel-ppp have it's own plugin API.
Regards,
Alexey.
