You may have a problem getting through your Gauntlet, since it is an
application gateway. PPTP uses neither TCP nor UDP, but one of the
lesser-known protocols in the IP family (I forget just which one), so
a tcp "plug gateway" will not do the trick. You would need a proxy
specifically designed for PPTP. I don't know of such a beast; does
anyone?
