The clue here is that Windows thinks that a VPN connection is a
kind of special modem connection where you dial an IP address
instead of a phone number. It's something I've only seen once
before, in some software for Solaris that implemented DHCP by
building it on top of bits of UUCP. THAT software thankfully seems
to have died a well deserved and insufficiently horrible death,
but Windows just keeps on coming back for more...
