Zebedee is a simple program to establish an encrypted,
compressed “tunnel” for TCP/IP or UDP data transfer between
two systems. This allows traffic such as telnet, ftp and X to
be protected from snooping as well as potentially gaining
performance over low-bandwidth networks from compression.

Another approach may be to use VNC..

 TightVNC is a free remote control software package derived
from the popular VNC software. With TightVNC, you can see the
desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local
mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the
front of that computer.

Maybe one of these can be the basis of your solution.

Note that almost all routers are not designed to allow more than one PPTP VPN from the same remote IP address, (the PPTP protocol does allow for the possibility of multiple tunnels, but they must share a control channel, which means it can't be done from separate remote computers behind one NAT router without fairly exotic packet handling) so if you need multiple users at one site you really need site-to-site VPN. ...
