Take a look at PoPToP, it's an opensource implimentation of an MS compatible
VPN server for Linux.

Subject: VPN suggestions?
Greetings.
In the near future I'm going to have to set up two VPN rigs, for two
different purposes, and before I get started I'd like to solicit the
opinion of the list for good technology options.
The first VPN should be the simplest; we'll need to connect our subnet
to that of a client company, hopefully with static IP's at each end; we
may even have the liberty of selecting our own hardware to support the
connection. So I was thinking that a pair of Red Hat or OpenBSD boxen
with IPSec, acting as subnet gateways, would probably do the trick.
BUT, the last time I tried to set that up I ran into fits, so
suggestions for idiot tools or supplemental documentation would be
welcome.
The second VPN will be trickier. We want to provide service to people
at home and on the road, allowing them to connect securely to our office
network from a Linux or Windows box. None of the Windows users ever
access a command line, so something as simple as an SSH client won't do
them much good. We would need to support HTTP and Samba services for
the Windows folks.
We are a mostly-Red Hat shop, but I have some experience with other
Unices including the BSD's. We don't like proprietary, closed-source
security software _at_ _all_, but we recognize that sometimes you have
to face reality where that's concerned.
Thanks for any thoughts.
