Mune, did you have any luck? I am researching much the same thing now.
I'm trying to make it work a not new knoppix 3.3 as dial-in server.
All my experiments was with win XP (I was sure that there wasn't the firewall)
None worked (as you may see from the syslog). It seems that something prevents win from answering to the Linux server.
Years ago I configured the same service for the local Firefighters (it's incredibile I can't do it again).
Below are the confs file.
If anyone has any idea or have used in the past a different setup, let me know.
Thanks
