probably not the right place to ask but what the hey :dance:

the cisco vpn client - can someone convince me that this is not a flaming piece of crud?

on my linux box it typically hardlocks my machine. sometimes I am lucky and it just brings down all other network interfaces (this is also not so useful because my server is in a cupboard with no easy keyboard/mouse access)

on my windows box tends to kill all other network connections. Then, dns lookup and internet surfing is terrifically slow (I suspect it is going through the vpn)

I've been told this 'kill all other network connections' behavioiur is by design. ok, I am not very much a fan of this.

Can someone recommend alternative pieces of software, hacks, configuration changes or whatever that could allow me to connect to my work vpn without causing immense headache?
