  It's not so much PPTP as Microsoft's various attempts at
authentication/key exchange methods that are broken.  But for VPNs,
the rest of the world seems to have gone in the direction of IPsec-
and SSL-based solutions.  OpenVPN is SSL-based, and Win 2000 and later
support an IPsec-based VPN.

  This is prolly more significant for places that are using MS-CHAP
for wireless/network authentication.
