[pptp-server] simple question?

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough...
	
	I have a Linux box connected to Internet with an ethernet network
connection, and it's also connected to my internal LAN with another
ethernet card. I need some people in the internet to access my internal
network using PPTP. Also, I need this Linux box to receive incoming calls
using two modems, but I don't need this two dialup connections to use PPTP.
Are there any problems with this situation?

Thanks...
