Quoting Jason White (jason@jasonjgw.net):
Life's too short for personal attacks, coordinated or otherwise. Besides, they tend to escalate conflict and harm the reputation of the perpetrator.
Wisdom.
I suspect that's one reason why technically informed contributors to this and other fora usually recommend OpenVPN or IPSec instead.
I was just going to mention that. OpenVPN has the virtue of being able to connect to a variety of server-end implementations, including Cisco's. Occasionally, people say they are obliged to use badly architected and implemented protocols like PPTP on account of mandate from management to use such things. I have somewhere details of what's available on Linux for that and some others, but would have to dig for it.
