The VPN client FULLY supports Windows 2000 as well as Windows ME, 98, NT,
and 95. The unified client is tons better than the old client that Cisco had
out. The new Unified client fully supports end user termination into the VPN
Concentrators (3000 currently, 5000 series soon) and the PIX 6.0 and up
code. The termination to IOS is slated for later this year, I hear.

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....
