RE: [ale] Cisco VPN client question

[Holmquist, Thomas W.]

If your using RH 6.2 because of old hardware, you might want to give
debian/slackware a spin.
 
Although I'm not sure, you might want to recompile your kernel with your
options (if you have not already), perhaps there is a kernel option that
will help you with your mission.

Bob - 

Thanks for the note.

This isn't much processor (foof-bugged P100), much RAM (48MBy), nor much 
disk (1.2 GBy), so I set it up with 6.2 (and all the updates I found - not 
guaranteed, of course), and minimal X11 (FVWM started manually). I would 
be better off with a newer installation. It just looks tough to fit it 
into my gifted Toshiba 430CDT.

No-one but me cares if I can link to this VPN, so I don't expect help from 
any quarter. I'm really interested why a client's WinXP (with a sure-G~d 
Cisco client) is refused access. 

I thought I'ld give this one a try since I'd found sources that seemed to 
match my system's libs. Naturally it bit back. 

I'll try building the module on my home 7.3 system and see if it comes out 
more usably. (We are now reaching the domain of genuine masochism, 
having left machismo far behind!) 

Quoting the first program manager I ever worked with, "The 'quick and 
dirty' approach can generally be relied upon to be dirty." 

Cheers.
