1. Overview: A remote access method for Linux

This document describes how to install PPTP Client on a Fedora Core 2 system. This client allows you to connect to a remote system reliably and securely.

This connection is sometimes referred to as a tunnel to the remote system.

This information was adapted from documentation located on the PPTP Client website. Please see this site for installing PPTP Client on Linux systems other than Fedora Core 2, but follow the configuration steps below.

The process involves installing two products (MPPE and then PPTP), followed by configuration. Later sections will describe the process of connecting and disconnecting.
