If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to use FreeS/WAN to VPN in with
Linux directly.  The Checkpoint doc on it is located at
http://support.checkpoint.com/kb/docs/public/firewall1/4_1/pdf/fw-linuxvpn.pdf.

Or, if you're lazy, you can always just setup a network behind your Win
box and proxy/port redirect into the VPN network.  I've seen the guys from
Foundstone do port redirection through Win32 boxes on DMZ's to allow them
use of their unix tools in their demos, so it's certainly possible.
