Does anyone have any experience connecting to a cisco vpn with linux? I

vpnc worked for me on Ubuntu.  I don't remember seeing a pcf import
option.  The Cisco client does have the option to do the pcf import
and comes with a nice GUI.

And is the VPN device Concentrator 3000 that you are trying to connect to?

You'd need to know your GroupID and respective password for the group
-- if that's how the concentrator allows you to connect.  Then your
network ID/password.  Your network guy can tell you what the
connection settings are.

If you have a Windows version of the VPN client take a look at the pcf
file, if it has a groupID and the password all hashed out, it's likely
you need to know what the value of the ***** are.

NOTE: I had issue with the Cisco _supported_ client running on OS X --
it required a lot of hacking.
