Cisco VPN client on Vista and Ubuntu !

Well cisco has this bad product, Cisco VPN that is really really bad, it doesnt work properly with Vista, i have seen it taking about a 1-2 min to connect, that too when it does ..thats 1 out of 5 tries. Also once connected sometimes there is no traffic ! On ubuntu, it actually causes kernel panic when i try to remote into another machine .. hence i use vpnc and gnome-network-connect, and they work perfect and it takes about less than 2 seconds to connect !

Recently i saw this new software called as Juniper Network Connect (supplied by Juniper networks) , its much much better than Cisco VPN ! Here is a link on how to install on ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=232607 , though i havent tried on that and i didnt import my pcf (cisco settings) file. Our IT supports it and hence i am able to connect, but i dont know if it supports cisco imports etc .. though yes it works great !

Mainly to view web sites that being blocked by china greatwall. Also to use it when travelling so the connection is secure. Fast respond customer service. Connection is good, I can use Skype, Msn without any problem. I would recommand to anyone that is looking for a vpn provider.
