All,

I have heard this gui works well but have not tried it myself:

Or tinyurl

FWIW there is a mac osx client avaialbe on the retail market:

<http://www.apani.com/vpn-clients/cisco-overview>
Or tinyurl
<http://tinyurl.com/ycqsop>

I've not used that one either but I've heard it's worth the money. However
the apani nortel linux client is REALLY good.

HTH
