pptp is the new name for pptp-linux, the
PPTP Client. Since the code is
portable to a variety of Unix-like operating systems, the -linux suffix has been dropped
from release 1.6.0 onwards (indeed, the SuSE distribution dropped the suffix long ago).
pptpconfig is the new name for pptp-php-gtk, the GUI for configuring
PPTP tunnels. It requires a special build of PHP, built with
--enable-pcntl; this is available as the package php4-pcntl here, which can coexist
with a regular distribution-supplied version of PHP. It also requires the
GTK toolkit built against this version of PHP,
which is available as the package php4-pcntl-gtk.
pptp-plusnet is the set of configuration files and scripts
I use to connect to my ISP, PlusNet.
pptp-xyratex is the set of configuration files and scripts
I used to connect to my former company's VPN. It should be fairly easy to tweak this to work
for any other company with a PPTP-based VPN
