vpn client for debian


I want to connect to a vpn server and I'm using debian 5.
I installed Kvpnc package but when I try to make a new profile I choose "Microsoft pptp" as vpn type and I receive the following message:
the required daemons (pppd and pptpd) aren't availabale
what should I do? please tell me the details because I'm a beginner in Linux.
and is there anyway to download required daemons in another computer and use them in my computer (I'm worried about dependencies)?

What other options are there except "Microsoft pptp"?
Does this display anything?
Code:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude search pppd
sudo aptitude search pptpd
sudo aptitude search ppp

for kvpnc,
types of vpn available are

cisco
racoon/swan
openvpn
pptp

how you configure this client depends on the type of vpn server being used.
