[lug] Cisco VPN

[Michael Hirsch]

The Cisco client has worked pretty well for me.  I did often have DNS
issues, so I usually had to go by IP address.  Our IT group never cared
enough about Linux to figure out what went wrong.

The only other trouble I had was finding the updated client for the 2.6
kernel.  It was hidden on the website pretty well.  But if you're still
using RH 8, that might not be a problem for you.
