15.1  Configuring server for remote access to corporate network via PPTP protocol
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a point-to-point tunneling protocol that allows a computer to 
establish secure connection with a server by creating a special tunnel in a common unsecured network. PPTP 
encapsulates PPP frames into IP packets for transmission via global IP network, e.g. the Internet. PPTP may 
be used for tunnel establishment between two local area networks. РРТР uses an additional TCP connection 
for tunnel handling.
