Subject: PPTP info anyone?

Does anyone have additional info about the 'secure' Microsoft 
Point-to-Point-Tunneling-Protocol?

U.S. Robotics is developing PPTP for Microsoft.  It's designed
to terminate a link between a remote PC client and an NT server,
rather stop at the RAS dial-in hardware.  PPTP is based on PPP,
and uses the authentication and encryption of RAS.

Anyone know if a remote PC can dial into a provider, and setup 
PPTP to a NT server through a firewall?  How about a port number?
