Something like this?

#!/bin/sh

IFNAME="ppp5"
PASSWD="password"
USERNAME="uuuuuuuu"
SERVER="url.server.pptp"
PROTOCOL="PPTP"             # PPTP or L2TP

nvram set vpnc_proto=$(echo $PROTOCOL | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')  # Must be lowercase?, but Profile uses uppercase?
nvram set vpnc_heartbeat_x=$SERVER
nvram set vpnc_pppoe_passwd=$PASSWD
nvram set vpnc_pppoe_username=$USERNAME
nvram set vpnc_dnsenable_x="1"
nvram set vpnc_pptp_options_x=

if [ "$PROTOCOL" == "PPTP" ];then        # Only required for PPTP?
 nvram set vpnc_pptp_options_x="+mppe-128"
fi


# Restart ACTIVE PPTP/L2TP client
if [ "$(nvram get vpnc_state_t)" == "2" ] || [ ! -z "$(ifconfig $IFNAME 2> /dev/null | grep -o "UP")" ];then
