I use vpnc from my home to access our corp Cisco VPN (where as all my
peers use CiscoVPN.  All you need is to install vpnc, visit
http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/ and select "cisco vpnclient
password decoder" and enter the value for enc_GroupPwd from the *.pcf
CiscoVPN config file issued to you by your company.   Next
create /etc/vpnc.conf as this:

   Interface name tun0
   IPSec gateway yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy  <- "Host" in *.pcf
   IPSec ID xyz            <- "GroupName" in *.pcf
   IPSec secret ********   <- decoded plaintext *.pcf enc_GroupPwd
   Xauth username abc      <- your CiscoVPN username (i.e.LDAP name)
   Xauth password *****    <- your CiscoVPN password (i.e.LDAP password)
   DNSUpdate no            <- set to yes to auto update /etc/resolv.conf
   Target networks 10.10.1.0/24  <- add networks to route to VPN (tun0)

Let me know if you need more info.
