The customer is using Checkpoint VPN-1 and its SecuRemote Client. If they
use PGPNet, would there be any duplication?

PGPNet is a desktop program than creates IPSec tunnels on Win95 and
Win98. That's a standalone program for Windows 98 and NT 5, or Mac 7.6.
It's not an authentication / sso system, it's a VPN client.
It can use X509 certificates to authenticate the gateway to the client,
and the client to the gateway. You need a PKI program to do that, PGPNet
won't create the certificates. It can also use pre-shared keys.
HTH.
