The Cisco VPN client requires a Cisco VPN Concentrator (i.e. 3005, 3015, 3030, etc.)
at the location you are connecting to (your home). The cost for the Concentrator is
$3000 plus depending on model. The client then allows you to setup a tunnel with
encryption to the Concentrator.
This works great connecting a number of home PCs to the office. However, it's a bit
expensive to connect to your home PC. I would forget the Cisco client and look into
some of the other options that have been suggested.

Subject: VPN NEWBIE
I have a windows 2000 server. My connection is a SDSL. What do I need to set
up a VPN? I am so new that I haven't a clue:) I want to set one up to my
home office. So I can dial into it remotly. Can anyone help me put? I have
Cisco VPN 3000 client. I just don't even understand what hardware I need or
what to do first to get a VPN up.
