!Server setup
First, the installation and configuration of the server. This is a relatively simple matter. The package pptpd contains the poptop server in Debian, and the defaults are reasonable, save for adding your IP range to /etc/pptpd.conf. Also, Debian has defaults in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets which allow users with a /etc/passwd entry to authenticate with ppp. These didn't seem to work out of the box, for some reason, so you may need to manually add a user and password pair in there in the standard pap-secrets format (user * password * or something similar).

need standard things like ppp_generic, ppp_async and slhc in your kernel. bsd_comp etc might be useful

+You

you will need ip_gre on your server!
(you may also want the [MPPE] patches to enable encryption of the PPTP tunnel)
If you have a firewall, you have to pinhole port 1723 TCP and GRE to the server running pptpd.
