    I started out by following the pptpclient site instructions, but I got
    caught at step #1.c (modprobe test) with the message:
    bash: modprobe: command not found

    What does this mean?
    bash?
    command not found?

    I did it all from a terminal window where I had used the su command
    first to switch to root.

    I skipped to the pptp module in the next step and when I did the rpm
    command I received a message:
    warning: pptp-1.6.0.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
    b56a8bac

    Does this mean that the installation was OK but with a warning or did
    it not succeed at all???

    The next step using yum does not work at all, it complains about GPG
    public keays and suggests a command to install them which did not
    work.

    Sigh....
