If you're using NT4 then setting up PPTP isn't hard at all. You can use the
native RAS or download the free RRAS (formerly Steelhead) from
microsoft.com. Once you get the server accepting authentication from the
internal network, simply refer to the PIX manual for ports to open. If you
need help with that I can send you the ports. You can encapsulate IPX,
NetBeui, or TCP/IP all in either one to create a GRE tunnel. The PIX only
needs to allow the ports open from the outside to allow users to
authenticate on the NT box on the inside network & establish a tunnel that
allows them to be operating on the internet network with an internal IP on
the virtual interface.
I'm sure there are better ways to do this, but this does work.
