I have a 98SE with a DSL connection. I would like to set it up as a host so I can PPTP from a remote location via the Internet without using the DUN...if possible.

I am not sure that what you have in mind is possible.
To access your host from the Internet, one of the following must be true.

1) Your host must be permanently and directly connected to the Internet with a valid IP address (ie not temporary or private IP address).
or
2) Your host can be a member on your company's private Intranet which is permanently connected to the Internet. You can then connect from the Internet to your host on the Intranet provided that there is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) installed on your company's firewall.

However, you can experiment with VPN and set a lab consisting of two computers on your home or test LAN.
