I was in the need to connect to a pptp (Microsoft) VPN. I feel the following
points could be improved:
- allow entry of hstname instead of IP in Yast-configuration dialog. This helps
if the server is on dyndns
- no need to specify the network interface: if you ware once with ethernet
(eth0) and the oter time with wlan (eth1) connected, one has to reconfigure the
interface
- make log output more 'self-speaking':

Non-zero Async Control Character Maps are not supported!

At least dsl module relies on smpppd.
Yes, and the DSL-module is used to create a pptp-tunnel
Also: other yast network modules are based on old network infrastructure, which is partly unmaintained already.
That means there will be a complete new design for VPN-support? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
