You Learn Something Every Day (if you're lucky) -- Windows XP Can Accept VPN Connections

I've used Windows XP to VPN into networks for many a year and have found that capability indespensible--whether connecting to my home network or my work.

However, I recently learned that XP can be set up to accept VPN connections as well, potentially eliminating an expensive VPN server (Windows Server, hardware device, etc) to accept VPN connections into a network.

I haven't' tried the instructions on Bob Cerelli's page, so I can't report on how it stacks up against a more robust solution (like my Windows 2000 Server VPN). I do suspect there might be some routing problems on the network you VPN into, given XPs more limited routing capabilities, but it's still a damn cool feature (that I'm surprised to just now learn about!).
