I've implemented a few of these.  There are two patches that I suggest if
you are going to set up a PPTP VPN server.  One is MPPE (needed for
encryption) and the other is a patch to strip the domain name from the
user name provided during authentication (this helps with maintaining user
names and passwords).

The MPPE patch will require patching both PPP and the kernel.  The domain
name patch is applied against PPP only.  I have a deb of the patched PPP
if you'd like.
