VPN Virtual Private Network

Does anyone know of a package that allows Linux to serve as a Virtual
Private Network interface?  I would like to allow home Macintosh users to
connect to the company network over the internet and function as though they
are on the local network.  This would require some sort of tunneling of DDP
packets over TCP/IP.  Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Netatalk support appletalk over tcp. Just be sure that the mac's appleshare
chooser can find it via IP.
