I doubt that the distance has anything to do with it. Your problem is
more likely a packetloss and/or bacis connectivity problem. Have you
ran any thoughput tests between the two locations? Do a search for a
program called 'ttcp'. Remember you DSL line may be 2mbit down, but
it's most likly only 200-300 kbits up.

I would suggest using something like OpenVPN to build a tunnel between
to lans. PPTP is more of a dialup type VPN connection. If you don't
fully understand how networks are routed you are going to have problems.
