Subject: pptp over NAT? Impossible?

I've been beeting my head against a problem that I think 
I suddenly understand..
I've been trying to run a pptp session out from an address translated
network (i.e. ppp -nat). It gets so far tand then stops.
It has suddenly (after a day wasted) occured to me that 
maybe the ppp negotiation is being carried by GRE and that 
I'm guessing that GRE is not translatable.. (At least by
ppp -nat). (what's happenning is that the ppp negotiating packets are
getting lost in transit.)

Can anyone comment on this theory?
