Sound's like you don't have AOL! I rolled out a 3015 VPN concentrator (Altiga) not too long ago for a client who had a ton of roaming sales people and outside vendors that I got working with this. Found out the hard way that AOL will overwrite .dll's used by the Cisco client software. Don't know if this has been fixed outside of uninstalling AOL. It rock's after setting it up though, especially if you have a broadband connection. Another BIG issue will be some ISP's use NAT or a Proxy Server or some other type of firewall and will block all ports outside the basics. This will kill the VPN setup connection.
