[Techtalk] Problems with a script and PPTP/VPN

[Sara]

Hi again.

I'm trying to connect via VPN/PPTP (it's what my
university is using
for public access)  and I'm having problems.
I have the kernel prepared for it (I've checked it),
but on trying to connect with
a script that a gnu-linux group from my university
has in its web site, it doesn't seem to work (I run it
as root). 
Could you take a look at it? It seems that there are
some mistakes:

-------------------------

#!/bin/sh
#tunel.sh

echo "User"
read &USER

echo "Password" 
stty -echo
read &PASS

echo "Conecting..."

pump -i eth1 &&

sleep 5 &&

pptp 147.156.20.2 user &USER password &PASS debug
noauth defaultroute usepeerdns &&

sleep 10 &&

echo nameserver 147.156.20.2>>/etc/resolv.conf

route add default gw 147.156.20.2

--------------------------

The problem seems to be the "&PASS" and "&USER". I've
changed the
"&" for  "$" and the script runs, but  it gives the
error 
"SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable". 

I'm trying to install a front-end pptp client, but I'm
running into dpendencies
problems all the while, so I'd like to be able to use
this script. 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Sara
