Thanks. we´ve read theres a workaround to enable PPTP in ASA, but that might be wrong?
I've never heard of that, but that doesn't mean there isn't a way. A couple of points to note about this though.

1. This would not be supported by Cisco if you had problems in the future.
2. This has probably been removed in more recent versions of code.
3. I've just run a quick search against Google and can't find anything. I can only find info on PPTP passthrough which would allow another device to do the PPTP stuff for you.
4. PPTP is an OLD and deprecated technology. Whilst it is quick and easy to implement, it's also not very secure, using 56-bit DES, not 3DES or newer, more secure AES.
>>Thanks. we´ve read there's a workaround to enable PPTP

Not that I'm aware of? InteraX is correct Your best choice it L2TP, unless you want to spend money on more SSL Licences.
