you'll need to get the pptp client patch for masquerading (it uses ipportfw
is I remember correctly)
then you'll need to setup the pptp client on your linux machine and the
tunnelling server on your NT machine (is the NT machine behind a Linux
server?)

if it is then you'll need pptpd on the linux machine (and nothing on the NT
box) and you just connect from the linux machine at home (via the pptp
client) to the linux firewall at work (the pptpd server) and then you're
done.

(sounds easy right?)

there was a brief how to posted here a day or so ago.
you can check the archives or whatever.
