poptop uses windows proprietary protocol, pptp, which is known to have 
significant weaknesses.  You can use ipsec with both windows and Linux.

Not to mention the fact, that if you use anything by M$, they're very 
likely to change it in such a way as to screw you up.

Windows XP and 2000 have ipsec support built in, but I've never used them.
