I did state in my first mail that it was the pixes that were controlling the vpn/encryption, but I may not have been clear. So there it is again. :)
Anyway, the 2 versions that we tried to upgrade to are: c820-k9osy6-mz.12.3-1a (24/8) and 12.2(15)T4/5 Currently we are running: 12.2 (sorry this is all i could tell from the "show run" that I did) The router is an 827-v4. Thanks for helping me out on this.
