If the fileserver that is behind a shorewall box" runs a version of
Windows that has a PPTP server (e.g., Windows NT or Windows 2k) then
configure that PPTP server then see:

Otherwise, look at

	http://www.shorewall.net/PPTP.htm#ServerFW

The latter describes what I do to provide that sort of Roadwarrior
support since my Windows boxes run XP Pro which doesn''t include a PPTP
server.
