You do indeed hope that it's one of their VPN Concentrators... I've set up three of those things for three different clients in the past three weeks. They are super sweet!
My favorite installation so far was integrated into the networks OSPF routing domain, and utilized SecureID/Radius for user authentication. I also got to dink around with one of the 3002 Hardware clients, which basically provides the VPN connection for an entire remote location (Small LAN... 8-ish users). You should not be some random beta tester though, Chuck... You ought to be on the head-end side.
