I know how to open a PPTP connection using Internet Connect, but is it possible to not have it close my regular connection to the rest of the Internet? I know I have the option to do that in Windows, but I don't know where to look for this option in Mac OS X.

Thanks for any help.

You'd probably have to modify your routing table after connecting. Like:

route flush
route add 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dst ISP_default_route
route add corp_net_1 dst CORP_default_route
route add corp_net_2 dst CORP_default_route

I'm a little fuzzy on the syntax, but man route and man routed will answer all questions.
