go pptpclient, and download current version of PPTP-linux 1.0.2
install pptp, type in

make
Add following line to: /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

“jzhao” * “password”
put “noauth” in the file /etc/ppp/options or at the end of the pptp line put “noauth”
To support mppe, download ppp-mppe from http://www.mirrors.wiretapped.net/security/network-security/pptp-linux/. To make it compile, I need to install linux source files and apply two patch files, ppp-2.4.0-mppe.patch and openssl-0.9.6-mppe.patch.
Read this doc http://www.schumann.cx/wavelan/. It might be helpful as well.
Become root, and run

pptp vpn.724.com name jzhao

or pptp vpn.724.com name jzhao mppe-128 mppe-stateless mtu 1492

route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 ppp0
If being logged off, become root, then run

route del -net 192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.255 ppp0

ifconfig ppp0 “192.168.1.45” down

“kill pppd process”

rm -r /var/run/pptp/

then run step 5 again
