I had understood that Panther was supposed to have VPN built in. Was this just a client for OSX Server's VPN or is it fairly complete on its own? I ask because I understand that Jaguar has Ipsec built in. However it is supposed to be a bit of a pain to configure. The following had some comments about it.

I was going to try and get this working, but since Panther comes out today I'm holding off. Especially if it has a way to automate all this with a nice GUI.
Anyone out there familiar with the details of Panther's VPN?

You can create two kinda of VPN connections in Panther (with the built in client). L2TP over IPSec or PPTP. Config is nice and easy, though I still use the Cisco VPN client because of the security requirements on my office network.

May I infer from this that the Cisco VPN client works correctly under Panther? My employer uses it too, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to replicate the Cisco settings in the built-in client.

Cisco's products uses their own standards so only their clients works with their networks.

Hmm. Our Cisco Pix seems to work just fine with any IPSec client.

It's really not my area, but it doesn't on my uni net, and everyone I've spoken to says the same as their technologi are closed. Perhaps their system optinally supports the open standards? Would make sense I think. But than again I practically don't know anything about this topic.

I've had some problems with the VPN client, usually a reinstall of it will do the trick-o. Make sure you have latest version.
