I use Poptop in several capacities on a mostly Windows-based network; to
get it working (with encryption) you'll need the pptpd package (for
poptop itself), the kernel-patch-mppe package (for mppe encryption), and
kernel source to patch and build your own kernel.

One word of warning: XP seems to have some braindead bugs concerning
PPTP and accessing SMB shares, YMMV; 2000 works great though..
