Is it possible connect to a PPTP VPN with just one line?

Question

I have a few VPN servers and I find it quite tedious to create several configurations for each server.

In a perfect world I'd love to do something like this:

pptp 168.24.15.65 username password

And that would connect me right away, is this doable?

pppd pty "pptp SERVER --nolaunchpppd" file /etc/ppp/options.pptp user USER password PASSWORD

require-mppe-128 option (could be enabled in options.pptp) is often needed for windows servers.

After connection usually configuration of routing is needed. Something like this: ip route add 10/8 dev ppp0
