Well you could use poptop on Linux boxes for the server (I do for about
eight sites)

Linux has the pptp client

Mac Jaguar+ has a pptp client built in and there is digitunnel (commercial)
for OS X 10.1 or PiePants (still free I believe) as well.

The linux and Mac clients are compatable with either poptop or the windows
software, and the windows clients are compatable with poptop.
