vpnc connections

Hey, I'm using network manager to manage internet connection and was hoping to add my university VPN connection to it. I've done this before in KDE Plasma (It's nice and easy) by have recently switched to bspwm.
The university uses vpnc so I have vpnc and networkmanager-vpnc installed. I have no problem onnecteing with vpnc and just want to see about adding it to Network Manager.

The config (as provided by vpnc --print-config) is

  IPSec gateway vpn.ox.ac.uk
  IPSec ID oxford
  IPSec secret ######
  Xauth username ########
  Xauth password ########

[Obfuscated by me]

If I try "nmcli con import type vpnc file oxford-vpnc.conf "

I get the error

 Error: failed to import 'oxford-vpnc.conf': Key file contains line “IPSec gateway vpn.ox.ac.uk” which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment.

This is however correct syntax for vpnc as far as I can tell though
