If we know that its a Windows VPN, and you need the IP or hostname,
username and password to connect, its probably PPTP.

IPSec requires a certificate or shared secret key (which is not the same
as a password).

I've never tried to connect a Linux box (or anything else) to PPTP, so
I'm not sure of what comes next.
