[pptp-server] Misc. Questions

[tmk]

incoming connections are limited by the number of ppp devices and number of
fd's linux allows you to have, when we were first developing it, talks of
1024 or 2048 seemed plausible, though the usable maximum is probably less,
i'd say no more than 128 at once on a sufficiently powerful  machine..
security is ms-chapV2 40 or 128bit  encryption depending on the client

if you connect it to multiple networks, you can use ipchains to set up
firewalling rules to prevent cross network routing.

i know of no vlan tagging package for linux, but i fail to see the
usefullness unless you intend to use linux as a switch (which is somewhat
impractical IMHO)
