We probably don't care about the VPN per se -- we just care about
whether we're connected to the company network.

An application may want to know if it's on the company network -- and
doesn't care if it's by wire, wireless or VPN. And it may *ask* for a
connection to the company network, which should trigger a VPN connection
if we're not already on the company network directly.
