I set up PoPToP on OpenBSD (using userland PPP - make sure you don't
have GRE interfaces in the kernel).  Note that PoPToP does need a semi-
decent amount of CPU, I found on my 486 firewall that the connection
would die if I did any big transfers!

This worked for Win2k PPTP client, not tried any others.

I keep meaning to get around to trying IPSEC.

for Win 2K/XP configuration info.
