Can you get Cisco SoftPhone software and run it from your PC?  That option
works pretty well.  In fact, our Cisco account manager called me from home
yesterday from her softphone over a pretty crazy connection.  Her PC with
the VPN software connects via wireless to a wireless hub and then to a cable
modem.  She was connecting from Denver all the way to San Jose to their
concentrator, and then hopped onto another high-speed connection back to
Cisco's offices in Denver to hop onto the PSTN.  I was pretty impressed with
the sound quality considering that network path!

The best solution for this would be a hardware VPN client so both devices
can take advantage of the VPN tunnel or use a router and terminate it on the
VPN concentrator, the hardware client is a no-brainer to setup.

Hi,

Cisco IP phones can be used as remote extensions in which case you can have
a Cisco IP phone at home and have the same extension as you have in the
office. Can this be done with the following setup.
DSL modem at home connected to a small switch. The home PC and the IP phone
connect to the Switch which connects to the DSL modem.
The PC has Cisco VPN client installed and can connect to the Head-office
where the VPN concentrator is. Now for the IP Phone, how will it connect,.
It will have a private IP address but , doesn't have a VPN client like the
PC has. What is the solution for this type of application.

Comments?

thanks,

neil

Neil,
Have a look at V3PN's on CCO. You can configure the router as a EZ VPN
client. When you attempt to make a connection via the router it will ask
for username and password, then authenticate you to the VPN Headend
allowing all traffic to pass. It is also possible to configure this so
that the Phones are always on, and only users have to authenticate.
There are a number of design references.
