RE getting error code 619 – I experienced this as Atomic Secured Linux didn’t allow modules to be loaded after boot. Ensure that your Linux Kernel is complied with PPP support and that PPP is loaded on boot.

Check tail -f /var/log/messages when you connect to see what’s being thrown up.

Also as mentioned above, check that you have allowed PPTP and GRE in your iptables and network firewall.

All these caused 619 errors for me while I was debugging. Hope it helps someone else.
