Troy,
Thanks for your quick reply.
My company's VPN uses the PPTP protocol. I saw the
NetworkManager-openswan package, but I thought it does not support
pptp (maybe, I'm wrong).
In other linux distros, I always have to install the pptp-client
package (which is available in SL 6) and NetworkManager-pptp to
configure and manage the connection. I tried to connect manually in SL
6, but I had problems to update the routing table once the VPN
connection is up. I know NetworkManager-pptp makes that process
painless.
