There are *lots* of solutions in this area. The first place you might
want to start is with the vendor of your firewall. Most of the major
firewall vendors now have VPN solutions that will work with remote users
quite well.

You can also use NT Server's RAS services to do PPTN connections over
the Internet in a secure way. This is a nice option if you already have
a RAS server set up.

Lastly, for VPN solutions I like Shiva's VPN Gateway and VPN Client
software because it is easy to set up and manage. There are other's that
are good, too.
