FYI, there have been several documented holes in Microsoft's
  implementation of PPTP.

   Yes, TIS unfortunate, "But what are we to expect? Honestly?!"

  I think I remember seeing several articles on it at places like
www.l0pht.com and others.

   Yep.

   Good luck.
   Hope this others as well
   And, last if not least, if going to go ahead and using PPTP - deal
with Registry settings as
appropriate to further 'harden & tighten the hatches down', sort of
speak.
