Server Side?
You didn't mention what platform will be serving the VPN connection...
Info on PPTP: [link|http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/remote/general/pptp/pptp.htm|Whitepaper]
With a Win98 client, the easiest to implement would be PPTP since Microsoft's VPN package uses it. However, there has been press about it being cracked:

There are Linux versions of PPTP out there as well, for both client and server side.

IPSEC info:
I haven't done anything with IPSEC, but a quick Google turned this up:

Cisco equipment
We currently have a [link|http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/rt/1700/|Series 1700 router].
The plan is to get a [link|http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/3000.htm|VPN 3005 Concentrator] and/or a [link|http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/fw/sqfw500/|PIX Firewall].

I'm working on getting a PIX set up right now w/IPSEC
No CA, though--shared keys only.
I'll try and keep you posted. Should be this week.
"A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas;...despair and time eat away the bonds of iron and steel, but they are powerless against the habitual union of ideas, they can only tighten it still more; and on the soft fibres of the brain is founded the unshakable base of the soundest of Empires."

Admin question (just curious, nothing vital)
I've seen you ask people to fix links a couple of times. Is this because:
A) It's fater to ask the poster to do it themselves
B) It's better long term for people to know what they goofed and fix it themselves
C) General policy that even admins don't change user content
D) A & B
E) All of the above (but mostly ____)

None of the above
A, B, C, and F, which is "I don't have an edit link (or any admin web controls for that matter) at this point." ;-)
