To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
I'd also recommend looking at the howtos on
http://www.openvpn.net
There are options to allow you to replace the default gateway on your
Windows box without loosing internet connectivity. alternately you could use
squid on your server and work through a proxy but i'd guess you want all the
connectivity you could get.
There is also a book on openvpn from www.paktpub.com but it costs money, as
does the service from www.vpnout.com
If you follow the howto's completely and patiently you'll have what you want
working in an hour or so.
I'd recommend a routed vpn, with static keys as they are easy to configure
and under Windows use openvpn-gui from
http://www.openvpn.se makes it easier to control the service under Windows.

This might be slightly off-topic for the list, and if so feel free to reply
to me privately. Will having a VPN give you the opportunity to bypass
methods of encription/throttling introduced at the ISP level? Part of me
wants to say no, but I'm not altogether certain of it.

You can't bypass throttling at the isp as they control the send bandwidth
not you.
As for throttling torrents etc putting them inside a vpn would hide the
trafic from your isp but they could just throttel your connection based on
volume.
They could also limit the speed of vpn trafic if they thought your usage was
excessive.
Also you'd have to put everyone on vpns for torrents to work; not a trivial
procedure.

Will it be hard on the virtual private systems because of not having the
required network devices installed? I remember reading about that somewhere
that on some providers, they have to do something to enable these to work.
