Hi Ellis,

I'm not sure how you do it through the GUI; but if you run the command
"rasphone", it will bring up the Network Connections dialogue, with your VPN
entry in the drop-down list.

You can also run "rasphone <entry> to connect to a specific entry; eg
"rasphone MyVPN".

You can also create a shortcut containg the rasphone command with desired
parameters, to provide a convenient icon for the command.

Hope this helps,
