Setting up VPN on Cisco PIX 501

We are deploying a Cisco PIX 501 Firewall in our office and I would like to set up a tunnell from my remote home office to this corporate office.  My home office consists of a Netgear FWG114P Prosafe Wireless Firewall.  

Is it possible for me to use the PIX PDM gui to set up a config where I can connect from home to the PIX in the office?  If so, can anyone provide direction?

Ok, so how would I do this via command line then?  Do you know, or are you simply voicing an opinion on the two types of management consoles?

Thanks

the Pix 501 supports PPTP, and i belive you can use the PDM to configure user accounts and the like. This would allow you to use the microsoft VPN client to connect to your PIX from home

however, i don't use PDM either, instead prefering the command line, try googling for "pix 501 pptp" and see what you get!
