     That is correct. If you already have an Internet router connected to the   
   Internet, you do not need two NICs in the RRAS server. You can have it on   
   the LAN with one NIC and configure it as a remote access server. You can   
   then forward PPTP (tcp port 1723) from the router to the server and make   
   your VPN connection to the router's public IP.
