+PoPToP is the PPTP server solution for Linux (ports exist for Solaris 2.6,
+OpenBSD and FreeBSD and others). To date no real solution existed if you
+wished to include Linux servers in PPTP established VPNs. PoPToP resolves
+that problem by allowing Linux servers to function seamlessly in the PPTP
+VPN environment. This enables administrators to leverage the considerable
+benefits of both Microsoft and Linux. The current pre-release version
+supports Windows 95/98/NT/2000 PPTP clients and PPTP Linux clients. PoPToP
+is free GNU software.
+
+The PoPTop pre-release server is not yet fully optimised. It has been
+released early so as to encourage other developers to become involved in
+its development. On release, PoPToP will be fully compliant with IETF PPTP
+Internet Draft and it will seamlessly support Windows PPTP clients with the
+full range of encryption and authentication features.
+
+Features for version 1.0.0:
+ . Works with Windows 2000 clients
+ . Available PPPD patch allows Windows compatible encryption and
+ authentication. (MSCHAPv2 and MPPE 40-128 bit RC4 encryption)
+ . Support for multiple clients
+ . Works with Windows 95/98/NT PPTP clients
+ . Works with C. S. Ananian's PPTP Linux clients
+ . PoPToP is, and will remain, totally free under the GNU General Public
