[lug] Cisco VPN Help

[Kevin Kempter]

Hi All;

I've ordered a new laptop (a Dell Covet - Precision M6400 with 12G of RAM and 
2 internal HD's).  I've been using a mac and I have a cisco client that works 
on the mac.  I've tried for the past week or so (via a Fedora9 VM on my mac - 
with vmware fusion) to get all the primary needs worked out before I switch 
to the new Dell - running Linux.

I have most everything working except for the cisco VPN connection. I've tried 
the vpnc tool, and I've tried the KDE network manager VPN wizard (I think 
this uses vpnc under the covers) with no luck.  I cannot find the actual 
cisco client for Linux to download anywhere - even though it's free you have 
to have an account/contract with cisco to be able to download it.

I'm hoping someone can offer me some VPN wisdom.. maybe someone out there 
knows how to configure vpnc? or has access to the cisco Linux VPN client?

Thanks in advance...
