You can just use Mikrotik or StarOS to do that. You can do it the pptp way but IMO your better of using pppoe since that would allow you to use any bb router at the clients location since most bb routers don't support pptp. With pppoe you can get encrypted traffic as well, plus it secures your network since all authentications are done with username/pw combo with no ip needed on the router headend facing the clients. So nobody can just jump on your network and find a working ip and get access to the net because the router don't route in traditional way.. Also as a extra plus you can disable client to client communication in your aPP's so that if joe and bob try to steal air time from your aPP's they can't do anything because client to client communication is disabled and if they don't have a valid username/pw they can't get access to the net either.. However thanks to the functionallity of pppoe valid clients can still talk to each other and ALL traffic is going through your pppoe server and you can rate control and account for their ip traffic.. Only drawback is that if they don't run winxp or a bb router then they have to install a third party pppoe dialer client (which is available for free on the net www.raspppoe.com)
