Ian and Bluejay, I agree. I am not an expert and have never used Cisco VPN nor AnyConnect on SL. But, Cisco has completely dropped support for the VPN client, at least on Mac and Windows OS. I would use AnyConnect. AnyConnect, I believe, is SSL based, so it has a much easier time when you need to connect through a network twisty maze. Just my 2 cents.
I've had really good luck with AnyConnect, at least on Windows and Mac OSX, FWIW. On those OS platforms, the client will install easily (browsing to a secure website for the AnyConnect server, Cisco ASA); and the ASA can automagically issue updates to the client when the admin decides that would be a good idea. Again, I can't address the SL aspect of this, but AnyConnect is the way of the future for the VPN client in a Cisco ASA environment.
