We are hoping to use this for work-from-home folks, so any comments on the general use of PPTP welcomed.The people at home are going to need WinNT4.0 with all the service packs I beleive, or an ISP with a proper FEP. It also does not IMO give you adequate security. See below.
PPTP is available for Windows 95 from Microsoft as well. 3rd party Windows 3.1/WfW and Mac client versions are available from Network TeleSystems ( see the TunnelBuilder product at www.nts.com).
3. The encryption is laughable 40 bit RSA WITHOUT EVER RENEGOTIATING
****** Updated NT R&RAS servers can support 128-bit keys with RSA RC-4 if you obtain the domestic code. H.
