7.2 Dial Up PPPD Server Stuffed?

Hi People,
I'm trying to get ppp version 2.4.1 that is bundled with redhat 7.2 discs
going to act as a dial up server for windows clients using PAP.  I've worked
thru a couple of howtos and the the best one seems to be
http://www.gue-tech.org/unix/ppp/sol_autoppp.html .

I've almost go it going i think as it's at the stage where it verifies
username password, but it stays there for about 30 secs and drops.  the
error log entry that is relivant is (full error log at bottom of message):

Apr  3 12:17:20 dial pppd[1050]: IPCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Apr  3 12:17:21 dial pppd[1050]: Hangup (SIGHUP)

I've (actually my linux friend) found a message on the redhat list for a way
around it but fails at step 5 with the message 'No such file or directory'
(way to fix is also at the bottom of message).  so rather than bash my head
against my keyboard any longer i thought i'd ask the gurus...

Do i need to downgrade to 2.4.0 to get things working?
Regards
Matthew

------------------Fix 2.4.1-------------------
(Grab the src rpm from here)
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.2/en/os/i386/SRPMS/ppp-2.4.1-2.src.rpm

(i didn't have this problem but its running on RH 6.2 still, this seems
to be RH 7.2 only.......)

> 1) grab the .src.rpm file that corresponds to your ppp.  (As of the

> 4) edit /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/ppp.spec and remove the cbcp patches.

> 5) type "rpm -ba ppp.spec"

> 7) change to the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 directory
