Symantec VPN server from Linux client

Does anyone know if you can connect (VPN)to a Symantec Enterprise VPN
server from a Linux client? I've heard of FreeS/WAN. Will that work
for this?

I wasn't aware that Symantec did a VPN until you mentioned it. Whether Linux
supports it will depend on what technology it's using. I had a quick look
online and it says it runs IPSec, although I suspect that for Win98/ME
compatibility it will also run PPTP/LTP2 (although, of course, might not be
configured to offer all those protocols - you'll have to speak to your
sysadmin).

So go off and find out what protocol it uses, and then find yourself a
client to fit.
