I found Poptop on OpenBSD to be a good solution. It is most probably not as secure/configurable as IPSec but if you just like to use default Windows XP tools and access resources inside the corporate network from the Internet etc. it may be worth looking into. At a client site, I set up IPSec, OpenVPN, and Poptop and the admins there prefer poptop due to the lower overhead in configuring XP. It is in the packages as well so very easy to set up and test.
