you need standard things like ppp_generic, ppp_async and slhc in your kernel. bsd_comp etc might be useful
you will need ip_gre on your server!
-(put something about required modules here
please? I just used Debian default kernel and it Just Worked).

If you have a firewall, you have to pinhole port 1723 TCP and GRE to the server running pptpd.

Assuming you have a Windows 2k/XP client, this is a simple matter. Make a regular VPN connection, entering your pptpd server's IP to connect to. Also, flick through and turn off encryption and encrypted passwords for now (you may need to dig in an advanced setting dialog or something, at least in XP. Don't let it put you off). You may want to go to TCP/IP settings and turn off the default route. If you do this, you will probably have to set up additional routes in Windows. I don't know how to do this and make it stick (someone should possibly put this here too).

If your Windows machine is behind a firewall, you need to put through similar pinholes. Port 1723 TCP to the machine connecting to pptpd, and GRE to that machine too.
Then put in your username and click connect -- all should be go.
