client for ipsec vpn

Hello,

I am currently using a cisco vpn client for MS that was emailed to me.
c. 10MB. Ipsec apparently.
However I do have linux RH 7.3 and suse 9.1 on my personal laptop and
PC respectively
So I was wondering what I need to install on either of these linuxes
(one will do) to get onto the vpn.
Or if I need to get some further info about the vpn itself.

TIA

Tony

If the end-point is a Concentrator you can use "vpnc". If it's a PIX
then it probably won't work. If you're running a 2.4 kernel then you
could try the CISCO VPN client for Linux, but even the patched ones
don't seem to work for me under 2.6.

If PIX, this client might work.

Thanks. We don't run PPTP though.
