There was something I had to do to get it work with a windows 2003 
server originally but that seems have become uneccesary (darn I forgot 
what it was)

I'm in Michaels boat it's been flawless and reliable. Only problem is 
that linux doesn't seem to do split dns so when you dial up you get the 
remote pptp server/dns assignments and your local resolution fails. I 
presume that it's just a configuration issue.

Works well.
