If you want to support this under Linux, get [PoPToP | http://www.poptop.org/]. It starts a pppd in the correct place; you might be interested in the [MPPE] patches.
[PPTP] is a great way to get onto the MetaNet (or indeed, any local network) if you're away from it and all you have is a Windows machine.
-For firewalling interests: [PPTP] uses [GRE] packets (protol 47) and a [TCP] connection on port 1723 for control. Most FireWall/[NAT] implementations don't understand the [GRE] connection identifier and thus will only support one [PPTP] connection, to a single [PPTP] server, when your connection is over [NAT]. Linux 2.4 doesn't seem
to have this problem. See
[PPTPConnectionTracking] for details.
