Responding a bit late, and a bit offtopic... I recently had to use a
different site's cisco 3000, and I had much better luck with
http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/ than cisco's
clients. Cisco's stuff was generally crashy, and dealt with odd system
configurations very poorly. I wouldn't suggest that Athena support it,
but it may be useful to someone outside cisco's supported clients.
