RE: Cisco VPN Solutions [7:20468]
I've used both the IOS and the concentrator solutions. I have found the concentrator solution to be more expensive, but absolutely rock solid. The IOS solution is less expensive, but there are many bugs even with the latest versions. Lots of headaches here. My recommendation: if you have the bucks, go with the concentrator. By far the better choice from a maintenance and reliablity aspect.

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 P.

RE: Cisco VPN Solutions [7:20468]
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.

Re: Cisco VPN Solutions [7:20468]
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.
