[wplug] Wireless VPN

[Robert E. Coutch]

Where'd you get a Linux client for Cisco and is it a recent version.
The only one I could find was an old tarball for RedHat 7.x .

We use the Cisco VPN client for Windows at work and I was hoping to get
my Linux box to be able to access VPN from home.


Thanks for any info,

Bob
