Your question is off-topic for the IETF PPP extensions mailing list.
This mailing list is for discussions about the protocol itself, not
about features in (or configuration of) particular implementations.

Try [email protected] or [email protected] instead.

For what it's worth, I don't know what an "etoken pro smart card"
might be, but the last I checked, the pppd implementation (used on
Linux and many other systems) doesn't support any sort of token card
with EAP.  It also doesn't come with support for Microsoft's PPTP,
though there are patches available that implement this feature.

Fortunately, source code for pppd itself is widely available on the
Internet, so if you need modifications to its EAP implementation, you
should be able to do it yourself or hire someone to do it.
