I've never heard of a Cisco IPSec client for Linux.  Interesting.

If you're connecting two (or more) boxes running Linux, Solaris, or one
of the BSDs, I would recommend using vtun instead of IPSec.  It's very
easy to set up and has many useful options.  You can find it on
vtun.sourceforge.net.

For IPSec on Linux, I would probably recommend FreeS/WAN, at
www.freeswan.org.
