Hello Matthias,

Thanks for the reply.

I was talking with a network engie and he told me that he already made some
tests in the past with vpnc and that it doesn't work with most of the newes=
t
equipment that our clients use.

The software tells me that it works with VPN concentrator 3000 and EasyVPN
compliant equipments.

I don't have, yet, details about the devices that will be used in the clien=
t
side but I know that we'll use RSA randomized rotative SecureID's and we'll
use IPSEC.

I'm not aware if this kind of auth mecanism has anything to do with the
client itself.

Anyway, I will give vpnc a go :)

Many thanks.
Regards,
