Have a look at

http://www.counterpane.com/pptp-paper.html

This paper describes some weaknesses in Microsofts pptp implementation.
As far as I remember the authors also describe the various protocols
used by Microsoft for client authentication. Another way of getting
information could be the source code of the Samba server. It implements
Microsoft's file and printer sharing on a Linux machine. I think it's
GPL'ed and therefore the source should be freely available.
