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.
