SBS 2003: Remote Connection Manager connection vs. manually created PPTP connection?

Hi --

What functionality/benefits does the "Connect to Small Business Server"
connection created by the Remote Connection Manager give me over a regular
PPTP tunnel to the same server?

The immediately obvious differences between these two connection methods are
that the Remote Connection Manager connection allows for fewer
modifications. And a connection made through the RCM seems to route _all_
traffic through the SBS box. This is something I can control on a manually
created PPTP connection that I seem to have no control over on the RCM
connection. I don't really want a user connecting from home and checking her
Hotmail account to route that traffic back and forth through the office SBS
box ...

Thanks,
CL
