Status of Cisco VPN Client Development for Mac OSX

[brichpmr]

Our corporate VPN for remote users runs through a Cisco VPN 3060 concentrator, pushing the default Cisco centralized firewall push policy to our users. Our Mac OSX (Panther) users currently have to use the Cisco VPN client through Virtual PC (Win 2K) because the Mac client doesn't allow stateful firewall handshake. It seems silly that Cisco does not offer a fully-enabled client for the Mac platform that works with Cisco's own default firewall push schema. So, the question is simple: when will Cisco issue a Mac OSX VPN client that will allow our users to authenticate using their native OS environment and Cisco's default firewall configuration?

We have a 3015 and use the same configuration and are experiencing the same problems. Have you had any resolution to this problem?

No response fromm Cisco to date. I think it's a shame that they can't seem to get their OSX client to work with their default firewall scheme.
