One update: There is a new version of client that does support windows
2000. I haven't seen the problems with any ISPs, but I haven't tried aol or
netzero either. :)
Good luck!

One thing to be aware of - the VPN client doesn't (at least didn't last
time I looked) support Windows 2000. It also has (once again, possibly
should be "had") big issues with some ISPs, especially aol and netzero.
I have to agree with the other folks, the concentrator (we have 3
vpn-3030 systems deployed around the world) is rock solid - I've only
ever had one hang. The cisco VPN hardware solution is a great fit for
home offices connecting to the concetrator, and the 806 router also
works very well.
I've used the client to pix, and while it works fine, it's a real
p.i.t.a.

The better, but more costly choice is the concentrator, you have a lot
less
issues to worry about than w/ IOS.Either pay now or pay for it later....
