FWIW, I use that one without the kernel patch (you only need the kernel patch
for encription). I sometimes want to access some library websites with
IP-based authentication (IEEE etc.), so I go through the university (ETHZ)
net. They offer VPN as unencrypted pptp or as some cisco specific variant of
IPsec that doesn't work with normal IPsec clients (there is a Linux cisco VPN
client, but it does some very weird stuff with the network interfaces, so I
can't use it on my router at home :-(
Not about to offer to take pptp-linux, though - it's not essential for me, and
I guess as a non-DD, it would be a bit tough to take on as a first package.
