I run Debian Woody so I've looked at the tunnels available in the package tree including Cipe, FreeSwan, and Vtun. I've also looked at PoPToP from www.moretonbay.com and am leaning toward this because according to their documentation there are windows clients readily available.

I know this is a tall order but if anyone has any experience implementing a system like this I could use a push in the right direction. Right now the variety of possible solutions combined with the lack of a clear list of capabilities is a bit overwhelming.
