If you want to be a VPN endpoint then I'd recommend Draytek Routers (The 2600Plus) and actually using the Router as the endpoint. They support pretty much any VPN client and are a doddle to set up. More expensive than your common or garden ADSL router though.
Sorry I didn't make that very clear did I. What I meant was my ADSL gets converted by my ADSL modem to raw PPP. I use the PPTP client on my linux machine pointed at the IP address of my modem, so my linux PC, which handles all the NATing gets the IP address. I do this as I use Asterisk, and trying to make VOIP work thorugh NAT is a pain the arse, this was just easier, and it works very well.
ADSL PPTP ISP ------> Modem ------> Linux PC (which gets real IP)
Confused, you should be :-)
