Extranet, Microsoft PPTP (VPN) and Linux IP Masquarading

["Neigebauer, Benjamin E" <neigebauerb@post.uwstout.edu>]

Hello Group!

I am going to be working from home and I think I might have a slight
problem. I share a cable modem (full duplex in wisconsin) with six other
people in my house. Right now I have it setup so I use Linux and IP
Masquarading. 

Has anyone used MS PPTP (VPN) through a Linux box?

If so, how hard was it? What pitfalls where there?

I am running Redhat 5.2, 2.2.5 Kernel, Ipchains, and the glib that comes
with Redhat 6.0

Thanks in Advance!
