Don't know about this SLP, but we are using pptpclient off sourcefource 
to connect a Linux box at home to a Microsoft VPN at work.  If I read 
your message correctly, your employer is using Microsoft VPN.  If so, 
that has a proprietary encryption (mppe), and pptpclient supports that. 
 I'm doing this under Mandrake.
