Sorry but as I never received any answers to this e-mail, I just try
again ;) I'm probably not the only one how would like to use
network-manager-vpnc with NetScreen/Juniper firewalls. I'm sorry but my
knowledge of C, dbus, gnome and gtk+ programming is really poor :( But I
will probably take a look at the code and try something ;)

Merry Christmas to everybody :)
