Setting up a split VPN client on Linux

[Joseph Sinclair]

Here's a question for the Linux networking experts out there:
I have to connect to my work datacenter from time to time from home.
I'd REALLY prefer to make this connection from my Linux machine, but they use Windows for their VPN server (I know, horrible, I'm trying to get them to switch to something worthwhile, but it will take a while), so I have to set up the VPN without a pre-built client (like a Cisco PIX would have).
What I'd like to know is if anyone out there knows how to set Linux up to connect a VPN link to a Windows VPN server, preferably in split VPN mode (where I can still access websites through my normal connection while accessing the datacenter servers via the VPN).

Any ideas?
