[c-nsp] PPTP devices

[masood at nexlinx.net.pk]

since all the pptp traffic gets process switched, Cisco would not meet the
feasibility condition on Router; if i were you i will use a linux (Intel
Core 2 Duo,4 Gig Mem) box running poptop (http://www.poptop.org/) for such
a huge and increasing number of pptp users.
