No, it isn't any version of PPP. PPTP is what the name implies, a tunneling protocol. That is, it allows you to pack IP packets inside of IP packets (and supports encryption/authentication in the process). It is used to create "Virtual Private Networks" and is unrelated to PPP. If your dial-in stopped working set PPP to log packets and check them out. Perhaps your employer switched from PAP to CHAP. Post the packet log back here and we'll have a look-see.
