FWIW, MacOSX includes a pptp client in the base system, I don't know how
good however.
For MacOS classic (i.e.: <=9) there _was_ a (commercial) pptp client
called "tunnel builder", but the producer seems to no longer exist and/or
not support the thing anymore.
I've found a website which still offers it at
http://www.macadsl.com/logiciels/?cat=client%20de%20connexion but it's
priced at USD 99 (!).

Hope that helps
