        <para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing
        <emphasis role="bold">drakvpn</emphasis> as root.</para>

    establishing a tunnel between the local workstation and the remote
    network. We discuss here only of the configuration on the workstation
    side. We assume that the remote network is already in operation, and that
    you have the connection information from the network administrator, like a
    .pcf configuration file .</para>
