thanks but i allready have my experiences with pptp , it is pretty insecure
but the main problem is, that it is not that easy to route throgh routers
and firewalls. its never a problem to route a port like 22 ( and if not i
change it to 80 ) , so its much more interessting to use the ppp through ssh
possibility !

cheers
