There are many.. most only work Linux <-> Linux.. Which is ok if you want
something semi perminant..
I have setup the PPTP one (PopTop) that works with Win95/98/NT clients..
but it's HORRIBLE to get working.. However we are helping the authors
clean up their HOWTO's and make some RPM's available to make it easier..
