Does FreeSwan work with Cisco 3000?

Since the version of Cisco's VPN software no longer works
with newer versions of GCC, and we don't have a contract
to obtain the latest version, I've been trying to use
FreeSwan to connect to our VPN concentrator, which is
a Cisco 3000. I'm trying to connect from my home Comcast
home network to our LAN at work. The IP address of the
machine I have FS installed on is 192.168.1.4. The IP
address of the Cisco concentrator is 12.3.62.1. Previously,
after connecting, I would be on the 172.16 network.
Listed below is my connection for this from /etc/ipsec.conf.
After issuing a "ipsec setup start", I then try to
connect using "ipsec auto --up work". When I do this,
I receive the message `021 no connection named "work".
What am I doing wrong here?

-Thanks
