VPN PPTP client for the Macintosh?

Hi, all!
I'm new to the vpn mailing list.
I have read the FAQ and the last months archive, but my question is
still not answered:

Is there a VPN PPTP Macintosh client available?

I have found NTS's LAN TunnelBuilderTM for Mac OS to be great until the
eval.
period of 15 days was out.( there is an unspoken cry for help here )

After some time and lots of frustration I checked the price on
http://www.nts.com/order.html

:TunnelBuilder individual license $395

I am a student, enough said.

Is there another client available?

My university, University of Bergen, Norway, is building a WLAN
(Breezecom) and is using a VPN with PPTP.
I think that the solution they use is from this company :
http://www.moretonbay.com/vpn/pptp.html
on a Linux server.

Maybe PPTP is not the best choice, but I don't think I can persuade them
into choosing something else ( safer(?!) and with a Mac client :-) ).

The WLAN consists mostly of single computers running WinXX or Linux with
an antenna.

I would really appreciate some help on what available Mac clients there
are, besides the very good, but extremely costly TunnelBuilder from NTS.

I hope my question fits this group.


Best regards
