Using the Windows pptp when I connect it allows the remote host to set
my routes for the PPTP vpn. Is there a way to do this in Linux too?
If I want to make a general tool to connect I would like to use it in
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local. For instance, in one connection I want to do
ip route replace 10.0.0.0/8 dev ppp0
but in another connection I want to do
ip route replace 192.168.0.0/24 dev ppp0
I'd like to make a generic thing that would always set the correct route
(best thing to let the VPN server set my routes). I suppose I could make
an interface and look up the tunnel in a text file and return the routes
but that is an extra step.

My name is on it. The regret lingers on. "PHP-GTK, why?", I ask
myself.

I don't know.
Alternatives, should you still require them ...
1. pptpsetup is included in pptp, and is a non-GUI for achieving the
same thing as pptpconfig,
2. Network Manager has a pptp plugin which does the same and more.
