netvision-connect also contains a connection script that netvision wrote, and 
another disconnection "script" (killall pptp-linux).
if they indeed didnt change anything in the binary, then the pptp-linux they 
have there is the same one we all know :


# ll netvision-connect
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          489 Aug 22 22:10 cablestart
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tal      tal            32 Aug 14 12:39 cablestop
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tal      tal        145757 Aug 14 12:39 pptp-linux
