Having no experience with VPN'ing toa Cisco router endpoint, I'm
interested in peoples thoughts on creating a VPN to a Cisco 1712
endpoint. What have people used (successfully or otherwise)? The Cisco
VPN Client software from Cisco? open-source IPSEC client (openswan or
whatever it's called)?
the cisco client only does IPSEC. you could do PPTP or IPSEC using other
clients. are you roaming or is it fixed end points?
Does anyone know if I have to use the cisco client?
you don't have to.

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.
I have fixed end points - of which I have to setup one. The other end is
a Cisco 1712, my end is a linux box (actually a gateway machine for a
LAN). I was thinking down the lines of openswan.
I'm actually very glad I don't have to use the cisco client - I find the
cisco site an absolute nightmare to use, and the downloads section (with
registration) doesn't work.
