At the risk of exposing my raw ignorance... what ports generally need to be
open for VPN to pass through a firewall?

I've recently been helping a friend setup a Linux machine to act as his
firewall.  He'd like to establish a VPN connection from his Windows 98
machine at home to his Windows NT 4.0 machine at work.  I'm using IP
Masquerade and IPCHAINS on the Linux machine, and In my search so far, I've
found some suggestions for opening up tcp redirection for ports 1723 and 47.
This hasn't produced satisfactory results, however.

In a whitepaper from Microsoft, I gleamed a little bit of something about
opening up udp port 4701.  Has anyone else had to do this before, and am I
leaving out any key information?
