Yes, the vpnc package unfortunately installs the "vpnc-connect" script
as shipped with vpnc, which assumes Linux.

See Huberts HOWTO at <http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200409/vpnc.html>, for
example.  The following commands will establish a VPN tunnel for the
default route.

 $ DEFAULT_GW=`netstat -rnfinet | awk '/^default/ {print $2}'`
 $ VPN_GW="123.45.6.7"
 $ route add $VPN_GW $DEFAULT_GW
 $ vpnc
 $ TUNIP=`ifconfig tun0 | awk '{ip=$2} END {print ip}'`
 $ route delete default
 $ route add default -interface $TUNIP

Note that setting the $DEFAULT_GW => $VPN_GW host route is only needed
if the VPN gateway is not within your LAN.

Instead of tunneling the default route, you may of course limit the
tunnel to some destination net (as shown in Huberts HOWTO).
