I can add my anecdotal evidence to the pile.  Emory Guest Access does
not allow for reliable Cisco AnyConnect/IpSec connections.  It will let
you establish, but invariably, within 10 minutes, that connection will
get dropped.  I have been meaning to get one of my VPS boxes set up with
OpenVPN on port 443 and I keep forgetting to do that so i can test how
that works.  I bet not really, but it doesn't hurt too much to try.

Maybe I can get some time today and get that working...
