[pptp-server] Linx PPTP -> Cisco VPN Adaptor

[Timothy Findlay]

I believe it's a 1750 of sorts, I'm assuming we could setup a VPN-decoding
type thing on our router here in melbourne which is a Cisco 2611, but I'm
really pushing to keep a linux server or two in the office!

I've heard IPSec is actually better than PPTOP, but it's a _REAL_ pain in the
arse to setup, is this sorta true ?!? should I attempt it ??
