The Mac VPN client implements the IETF *standard* VPN protocol, L2TP/
IPsec. This *is* supported by *all* Cisco VPN concentrators, but
Cisco doesn't tell this to anyone unless you read the documentation.
There are a number of reasons this (and PPTP) is not enabled in many
enterprise environments using Cisco concentrators, and it's not just
because IT shops only listen to Cisco.
Again, the iPhone 2.x VPN client supports these alternate — and common
— Cisco VPN server configurations just fine. There is no reason this
shouldn't have been implemented long ago on OS X.
And if it's not important, then why did it get implemented on the
iPhone? Functionality in iPhone 2.x is actually quite ahead of the
game in some of these areas, compared to Leopard.
