MPPE - (Microsoft PPP Encryption) - anyone know how to

Can anyone explain to me or point me to a link that shows how we'd implement
MPPE? (haha, everyone's like "wtf is mppe?")

What I do know is that it's Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption and is
supported by Cisco as a means of encrypting PPP or PPTP. This is where I get
lost, is it just another authentication method negotiated at LCP? Or is it
only valid inside a PPTP tunnel?

What I can find of it on the Cisco site seems divided between using it with
PPP and using it with PPTP. It seems to be more of a tech to use in a
client/server VPN situation but I'd like to know how we can run it across a
serial link between two Cisco devices. I guess my understanding of PPTP is
lacking too. Any security guys help me out here?
Thanks in advance!
