Hi Guys,
Can any of you lucky intel iMac owners possibly answer this for me?
Does anyone know if the Cisco VPN client will work under Rosetta? This tool is very essential on "work from home" days and after hours system maintenance.
My theory is that it will NOT work since it uses kernel extensions to operate. Does anyone else use the Cisco VPN client and know if it will work?
I actually have a possible workaround using a linux box as a vpn client gateway, but his is an ugly hack.
This is the only real show stopper for me. I want my MBP!
If anyone who has an intel iMac could test this for me, it would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have an Intel Mac, but I remember from the original Rosetta Developer Docs that any app that makes use of kernel extensions will not run under Rosetta.
Quickly looking at my Cisco account, they haven't released an update to the VPN client since December 9th. My guess is they are probably working on an update, who knows how quickly though. The have had plenty of Intel experience since they develop clients for nearly all OSes that run on x86.

Sorry to answer my own question, but I found a thread in the Apple support forums that answers this. According to a user there, the cisco vpn client does now work on his intel iMac. Oh well. Does anyone know of a ciscovpn alternative?
