[c-nsp] Cisco VPN and 64 bit Windows

Hi,

at a number of customer sites, we run a VPN service for mobile users.
Since we usually are not in charge of the firewall that is in place
there, we have the following construction


  Internet
      |
 ----------         ------------
 |Firewall|---------|VPN Router|
 ----------         ------------
      |
 internal network

The VPN router is usually an 1841, and the mobile users have the
"standard" Cisco VPN client for IPSEC (the one with the nice .pcf
files and which is currently shipping as version 5.0.04.0300). This
works just fine, and we would really like to stay with this setup for
some time.

Unfortunately, Cisco seems to have decided to not ship the "standard"
VPN client for 64 bit Windows variants, which are increasingly often
used out in the wild. They refer to the AnyConnect VPN Client which,
to my "knowledge", can only connect to an ASA and not to an IOS device.

Can anybody here tell me whether there will be a possibility available
to connect from 64 bit Windows to an IOS device? Any hints will be
appreciated.

Greetings
Marc
