Question : What level of encryption is PPTP?

What level of encryption is PPTP?  Are the packets encrypted at all?  How big is the hash?  How does PPTP compare to other encryption methods for VPNs?  

As you can tell, I'm looking for a bunch of info on PPTP.  Thanks!

PPTP version 1 isn't that good, PPTP v2 is way better, L2TP/IPSec is great!

You don't need a CA, as RRAS on W2k3 supports preshared keys - which is way simpler than a full CA deployment on small networks.

My next post give the details on configuring the wizard.
