Use the Cisco Unity VPN client which is based on the client 3.x platform. It would work with IOS (12.2.8T and above), the PIX (6.1 above) and VPN 3K.

The old Cisco Secure VPN client is only on IOS, and runs only on NT/95/98. While the new one, runs on Linux, Solaris, Windows and Mac OSX.

Not to be a stickler for detail but it's the Cisco Unified VPN Client:-)

Unity is the voice-mail software. Ready for the weekend are we?
