Starting preconfigured PPTP VPN connection from a script / command

[Juha]

Hi

I wonder is it possible to start a configured (pointing to a LAN DC address,
including Windows logon Domain and having TCP/IP settings allredy there the
rest of the settings can be defaults) PPTP-VPN connection from a command line
or actually from a script?

I would like to start that script after a IPSec VPN Client has started a
created the VPN terminated VPN Firewall.

Hopefully this is possible or I'm in trouble.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Juha
