Indeed, the iPhone VPN client works fine with our Cisco VPN
concentrator (both in production and a new system being tested),
while the Mac OS X VPN client does not.

There is more compatibility with Cisco VPN concentrators than folks
realize. I need to be clear here, that from Mac OS X, right now, that
means using L2TP/IPSec & PPTP, but those both work with Cisco's 3K and
5K line. The Cisco 3K line had numerous bugs which Apple was able to
identify and work-a-round with Client code changes and concentrator
config changes, but these issues were never fixed by Cisco --
customers were told to upgrade -- replace with newer box.
If you and all the others are looking for Cisco IPSec implementation
as is currently available on the iPhone OS 2.x, than I can very much
understand the problem you face. I encourage folks to file this as an
enhancement request at your earliest opportunity (if you have not
already). Keep in mind that when I ask/remind folks to submit
enhancements/bugs via bugreport.apple.com, I am NOT saying that I am
not aware of it or we do not understand the problem. I am indicating
that you need to be sure and *register* your need for a feature you
see as missing or broken -- significant value comes with submissions
directly from customers!
The point I was trying to make here is that If you and others are just
trying to provide secure VPN access from Mac OS X to Cisco 3K & 5K VPN
concentrators then you can using the built-in services. It does work
and I personally configured an Enterprise Customer's Cisco 3060 VPN
Concentrator over two years ago and they are still using it for Smart
Card-based (EAP-TLS) L2TP/IPsec. If the issue is that folks are not
aware of the bugs in the 3K line, I can provide help to allow you to
make this work.
