Morning Star PPP can act as a VPN client and server.  Essentially you
configure PPP to connect via a tcp socket or a telnet connection, instead
of a conventional serial-port/modem connection.  Then you use the "gw-crypt"
option on both ends to encrypt the traffic over the tunnel.



This isn't compatible with PPTP or any other VPN standard, but it does
work.



I can't remember whether you need special licensing to use "gw-crypt".
You may need to have an Internet Security Package license, or you may
not; I'm really not sure.
