I found a very simple temporary fix. After connecting, I just issue the
command:
sudo ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1000
I can then use my vpn connection without any problem. It does not hang
anymore and ifconfig tells me the mtu is really 1000. Hope it will be
fixed in Intrepid.

There is patch since 2006 that fixes this known problem see here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344967
How come it still does not work properly?
Change the mtu setting, connect and look at the output of ifconfig, you
will see the mtu does not change...

Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp
I installed network-manager-pptp and configured a vpn connection. I know
I have to change the mtu to 1000 in order to be able to transfer some
data. There is box in the vpn setup dialogue to specify the mtu value.
But once connected,
I tried it in the latest Hardy alpha and the problem is still there. I
set the mtu to 1000 when I set up the connection and when connected,
ifconfig tells me that the mtu is 1416. The connection eventually hangs.
