on my Fedora Core 7 (my daily linux box) there is a vpn installed, i noted the following packages:
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.6.4-3.fc7 vpnc-0.4.0-2.fc7 openvpn-2.1-0.19.rc4.fc7 NetworkManager-openvpn-0.3.2-7.fc6 and the networking applet is easy to configure. The vpn/cicso passwords are online even (some email on this on the mailing list a while back) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01716.html and I get it to work just fine. But with one BIG exception: any shell (xterm) into our campus machines results into a hung xterm whenever there appears to be too much output. E.g. ls | wc or ls | head works, but commands like ls, mutt, w, ps , they all fail. Have to close (~.) the connection and start over. Basicallly useless. Anybody have a clue what's going on here. Other clients fare better? Could of course also be something on my own, or the astr.dept. end. Doesn't have to be vpn. Or could verizon mess it up.. That's easy to find out, try vpn from campus itself. peter
