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

[Tristan Gulyas]

Dennis (and others),

Apparently the workaround given thus far has been to use the text-mode 
client however that also doesn't appear to work.

We have opened a case with the TAC and are working to resolve the problem.

There *is* a light at the end of the tunnel!
