I guess you learn something new every day! Hadn't heard of VPSes even though I do use IPSec to VPN to my home network. Didn't realize there were subscription options to go the other way. . .
Thanks for the post! -- Tradition: Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid. --despair.com
A VPS aka Virtual Private Server is a "slice" of a server in a data center that you can pretty much do everything with that you could with a "normal" server. Run the VPS on Xen and remove the "pretty much". So you can load up pptpd, tweak the settings and turn your VPS into a PPTP VPN server in maybe fifteen minutes. Pretty cool stuff, really.
