	Encapsulation	Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables
		secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual
		Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks. PPTP supports on-
		demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such
		as the Internet. The HomeSafe supports only one PPTP server connection at any
		given time.

		fields for a PPP connection and the PPTP parameters for a PPTP connection.
