Obsolete and Deprecated
On distributions that support NetworkManager, pptpconfig is deprecated
in favour of the PPTP Plugin for Network Manager. On Ubuntu and
derivatives the package name is network-manager-pptp.
See the Debian bug #390708 for the request for packaging.

restores on stop,
- optionally integrates with resolvconf.
