vpn fiddling

I managed to get my work vpn set up on ubuntu. It turned out to be not so hard, thanks to vpnc. I used the information from my company's windows vpn client config files as instructed here. Even better, I found and installed network-manager-vpnc, so i don't even need to touch the commandline anymore. Sweet!

The only real annoyance is now that I need the company proxy to surf the web, and as such, switching between vpn and no vpn really sucks since the proxy settings do not adapt automatically.
