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':
