    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.
