This is no way, short of either;

(a) modifying the source code (e.g. pptp_msg.h, PPTP_PORT) and
recompiling,

(b) using some other tool temporarily to bounce the connection.

I have *not* tried it, but I suggest you try tcpxd, my TCP/IP connection
bouncer.  See if that fixes it.  Run "tcpxd 1723 pptp-server.example.com
10000" then tell pptp to connect to localhost.  I've no idea if the
whole things copes with receiving the GRE packets from another source.

Are PPTP servers regularly set up on non-standard ports?  Should we
modify the code to allow the port to be specified?
