Comment # 4 on bug 917967 from Graham Freeman

The problem I face is that I do contract work for my old employer who have a MS
Windows server. The only instructions they have given me to connect to their
site is via their VPN using PPTP. Although I would prefer a secure connection
to their server, at present the only connection available to me from my Linux
box is using NetworkManager. I am still able to use a five-year-old computer
with an old version of Fedora, but I am concerned at the machine's reliability.
Is PPTP no longer supported with NetworkManager? I will ask my old employer's
technical staff if they have an alternative to PPTP, but as I am now an
outsider I do not have much influence anymore.
