Depends on the kernel version you are using. It's been quite a while
since I used a 2.2.x kernel, but I seem to recall that ipchains _did_ need
a pptp module loaded to support MS PPTP based VPNs. The 2.4.x kernels on
the other hand do _not_ need a module.
For the 2.4.x kernels, I believe your easiest route is to upgrade to
Debian 3.0 (woody) and install one of the provided kernel-images.
