What Nortel has told me is that no other client can be
used to access a VPN that uses their system. The problem
is that I have no control over what type of VPN my
customers decide to implement. Maybe I don't know enough
about VPN clients, but I what you provide doesn't seem to
address the issue. I don't want to use 2 different VPN
clients at the same time nor use one VPN client to attach
to a different vendors server. I want to use Nortels to
access a Nortel system and Cisco's to access a Cisco based
system. But just the act of installing a second software
client breaks any other on my system.
