[c-nsp] Cisco VPN client on Mac OS X 10.4 - still broken?

[Dennis Peng]

There are a couple of issues with 4.6.3 and Tiger.

CSCeh92574: Kernel panic when trying to do AFP over the tunnel
CSCeh93569: Unable to pass traffic or disconnect/quit after connecting

Sounds like you may be running into CSCeh93569. I'd suggest opening a
TAC case, linking to the bug and working with the engineer who is
working all of these cases so we can get this resolved as quickly as
possible. Thanks.
