Well, if it allows pptp connections, then install pptp client,
following the HOWTO for Fedora at the site indicated above. After pptp
client is installed, you do not need many details but your
username/password and the IP of the VPN server. Then, you select the
options "all traffic to the tunnel" and "require MPPE". And, that's
all!
