This is what I am currently looking at. I am considering PPTP only because
client is already available in Windows machines for free. While in XP PPPoE
is already in, I don't see free PPPoE clients for Win9x.
I am a bit worried about behaviour in lossy WiFi environments; I'll give it
a try in free time, I guess.

Thanks.
