[KLUG Members] pptp routes

[Adam Tauno Williams]

> I've successfully set up my pptp client so I can now connect to my office vpn. I can't, however, transmit any packets until I setup a route to the vpn. Right now I'm just doing a 'route add ...' at the command line but there must be a better way.

Use the ip-up.local script, which is invoked by the ip-up script and
passed the 'param' configuration directive value from your ppp options
file as an argument. 

For instance by options file specifies a param value of morrison VPN,
and my ip-up.local script looks like -

#!/bin/sh
 
case "$6" in
 "morrison-vpn")
    echo "IP UP LOCAL: Morrison VPN, Interface $1"
