I would use the vpnc client much more if it supported IP tunneling for Cisco VPN connectivity. Unfortunately, it doesn't and I have no idea about when or if it ever might. My employer uses IP tunneling for their VPN setup. My only potential solace is that I'm changing jobs. My last day with my current employer is Friday and I start my new role on Monday. Hopefully my new employer has more up to date VPN capability. I just installed a new Cisco ASA5505 firewall at my church and am setting up the VPN server features for it later this week. I would like to support vpnc as a client for it, but am unsure of exactly how to do that yet. This is my first firewall/VPN server setup and I seem to have a lot more to learn about the ASA5505. Pointers on that are also appreciated.
