I would highly recommend using OpenVPN rather than using pptp, OpenVPN doesn't require kernel support as it's built on top of SSL, is far more secure than PPTP (the product of ``Kindergarten Cryptographers'' according to one well-know security paper), and there are clients for all flavors of Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
Microsoft has updated PPTP since the only paper I know about was written. Does anyone know if there are still problems with it or if the linux version is updated to match?
But, openvpn is easier to use if you control the clients.
