Do not dismiss PPTP just because of IPSEC. PPTP is a Layer 2 forwarding
protocol. As such you can encapsulate things other than IP over it (IPX
and NetBEUI come to mind). And in fact work on it is very well alive
within the IETF. Check out the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions working
group. They got drafts for the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol. It pretty
much merges Microsoft's PPTP standard with Cisco tunneling protocol
(whatever is was called).
