Yes, it would be nice to be able to use 3rd party clients with FW1, but unfortunately
client-to-site VPN implementations are proprietary.
This issue is starting to be addressed by standards committees, but its going to be a
long painful process.
Nokia's CryptoCluster VPN solution works with both the Nokia client as well as the IRE
client. MS PPTP & L2TP clients work as well. Obviously this all depends on what
encryption methods you deploy.
