Sorry, I don't keep a list of the software that uses pptp, nor the features of said software. Here is what I know of this software: - kvpnc, might do this, not checked, - NetworkManager with pptp plugin, might do this, not checked, - pptpconfig, did do this, but deprecated, unsupported, - pptpsetup, does not do this. Also, if you have a choice to use another tunnel protocol, OpenVPN, does do *all traffic through tunnel*, is currently supported, and in my experience works more frequently than PPTP. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ HP Open Source, Volunteer http://opensource.hp.com/ PPTP Client Project, Release Engineer http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ |
