Hello Giovanni,

Do you tried the Network tool in System > Administration > Network ?

You can also use the gnome-ppp package, if I see correctly what you are asking for.

Hope that it helps you.

I was actually referring to pptp, which is a mechanism to set-up VPNs. ppp is for dial-up as far as I know

Thanks

According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/201969 pptpconfig is not part of the Ubuntu 8.04 repositories.

You can install network-manager-pptp

The following page is an example of how to connect and manage pptp VPNs in ubuntu using network manager

Can you help with this problem?
