Dan & Casey,
Thanks for the ideas.  I am hoping to write something that will work
with NM < 0.7 and also for 0.7.  0.7 is currently unstable on Fedora 8
with VPN dialogs crashing, etc.  I'll probably play with Fedora 7 / NM
< 0.7 first to see if I can automate this and I'll wait for some
NM-vpnc fixed RPMs to try and adapt it on Fedora 8.
