There is a main problem in case you require pptp to get access to the internet services like on ADSL in Austria and you do NOT have an internet connection. So yum cannot access the http driven pages. What else to use in this case?

If you don't have Internet access you can't read the HOWTO either...

I have set up chap containing my username and password.

I guess what you need is a way to download manually (e.g. from a Windows
box) the packages needed to bootstrap your Internet connection. Although
you only actually need pptp for this (which is available in Fedora
Extras), you need to know how to set things up at a lower level than you
do if you are using pptpconfig.

So, if you want pptpconfig, download and install the following packages:

 From Fedora Extras:

ORBit
glib
gnome-libs
gtk+
imlib
libglade
libpng10
libxml
pptp

 From PPTP Repository (http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/fc6/):

php4-pcntl
php4-pcntl-gtk
pptpconfig
