Cisco is solid but can be pricey, depends on # of users.  I personally
don't have experience with other vendors.  Rolling your own VPN-host
based on Linux is probably very easy, but if you have Cisco (or other
vendor) equipment it is pretty painless.

&gt; &gt; &gt; Does anyone VPN in to their employer's network using anykind of IPSec client

&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; If I had a solution for that, I think I could stop using windows. On
&gt; &gt; &gt; Windows, I'm currently using a Cisco IPsec client to access a customer VPN
&gt; &gt; &gt; and a Lucent IPsec client to access Lucent's network.  
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; I know that FC3 has a IPsec client.  Has anyone ever gotten it to work?
