PoPToP is the PPTP server solution for Linux (ports exist for
Solaris 2.6, Digital Unix 4, OpenBSD and FreeBSD and others). To
date no real solution existed if you wished to include Linux
servers in PPTP established VPNs. PoPToP resolves that problem by
allowing Linux servers to function seamlessly in the PPTP VPN
environment. This enables administrators to leverage the
considerable benefits of both Microsoft and Linux. The current
pre-release version supports Windows 95/98/NT PPTP clients and PPTP
Linux clients. PoPToP is free GNU software.
