Hi Sam --

Take a look at the VPN FAQ at

http://kubarb.phsx.ukans.edu/~tbird/FAQ.html

There's an extensive write-up about PPTP security.  You will also want to
check out
the latest paper by Mudge and Schneier at

http://www.counterpane.com/pptpv2-paper.html

Their conclusion is that the patches to PPTP improve a lot of the obvious
security
issues in the Microsoft implementation, but that it's still not good enough for
prime time.

cheers -- Tina Bird

Hi,

Do you think Windows NT and PPTP is a good solution as VPN? If yes,how to 
improve the performance? If PPTP can be used to LAN-LAN connection? Any
advice 
is appreciated greatly.

Sincerely
Sam
