The actual Cisco VPN client. I have not had success in getting vpnc to work (even with NetworkManager), so I continue to use the official Cisco client package. It just takes the patch I posted to work, subsequent to changes in the 2.6.19 kernels. If you can get vpnc to work, fine. If not, get your IT folks to help with using the Cisco application. It is pretty easy to install and set up. HTH, Marc Schwartz
