Linux IPSec VPN and Cisco Firewall VPN

Linux IPSec VPN and Cisco Firewall VPN

[Bradley Hook]

I'm running a Slackware 9.1 box as a firewall, upgraded to kernel 2.6.4. 
I need to create a VPN to another site that is using a Cisco Firewall 
with VPN support (not sure exactly what model/revision). Does this work? 
How well does it work? Are there any quirks I should expect to run into? 
If anyone has any good docs or some pointers to get me started I would 
appreciate it. I would like to use the native kernel IPSec support over 
FreeS/WAN if at all possible.

Thanks,
~Brad Hook

Cisco maintains a linux VPN client for their firewalls, I have gone this 
route and it is fairly straight forward. Being there own product it is 
well supported.
