Using it, yes.  Configuring it, unfortunately not, although I will be
attempting an implementation in the next two or three weeks, for a new
client.  (I'm not really a computer guy, I just play one to make money).

RRAS is probably as simple as it gets from the users perspective, which
also probably means it is the least secure VPN method.   All
users need to do to connect is double click the icon you create for them in
"Network Connections" and then enter their normal login
credentials.   I don't think logon scripts run over RRAS VPN
connections, however, so you may need to create a batch file that does
users "Net use" to map driver letters to network shares and put a
shortcut to it on their desktops.

Actually, I have the makings of a VBScript that asks for logon credentials,
connects using an existing VPN connection object, and then attempts to map
drives and printers.  I'll send it to you when you're ready.  Be warned,
thought, that while it works for me, various users seem to have trouble
with it.  Don't know if it is the troublemak,...er, users or the script at
this time.
