Thanks for the information. I am just going on what we have been formally told by our onsite Cisco engineers on several occasions. It may be that they were misinformed, or that they are trying to make the sell for AnyConnect Licensing, but I had been going with the facts I had. I am glad there is a 64-bit in beta, at least, now I don't have to migrate all those people off the ASAs right away. Orin -----Original Message----- From: Michael K.

There is also the fact to consider that Cisco has said there will be no support for Windows 64-bit on their IPSEC client, they are pushing people to the AnyConnect (An SSL-based clientless IPSEC) who want to use Windows 64-bit or other OSs, so in the future the argument for having a separate box for client-based IPSEC will be moot.
The beta 64-bit VPN client has been released, FYI. Mike
