Surprising... you mean the Cisco client is open source? Or is it like
with these Nvidia glx drivers only partly opened?

At the moment I'm not sure which VPN server we are using, so does the
Cisco client only work with a Cisco server? Maybe I'm lucky and we're
actually using another VPN server, thus I would have the chance to use
another client.

Very annoying that there's no standard...
