Has anyone been able to pull any magic off that allows PPTP connectivity over sprint's 3G/4G wireless network?

I assume they're just filtering it flat out, but before I contact them I wanted to see if anyone has found a 
resolution on their own.

I have several Nexus S 4G devices which are unable to get PPTP connections over 3G/4G but if you enable WIFI it 
comes up instantly.

I've been researching this off and on all weekend but wondered if anyone else had run into this issue.



I use often use PPTP on my original HTC EVO. Just tested it now and it
worked. 3G only, no 4G in my city.


I have seen MTU issues with PPTP on cellular networks before with
Android.  You might want to try clamping the MTU down on the server
side.
