IIRC, the newer M$ clients have built-in support for PPTPv2
(point-to-point tunneling.protocol version 2).You can setup a PPTP
server on your Linux box. You will need to have PPP already configured.

I believe WinXP/2000 clients also have support for IPSEC using x509
certificates. You will need something like FreeS/WAN for IPSEC support
on your linux box.
