The Treo 700w comes with a VPN client, but my company uses a Cisco 3000 VPN concentrator, and the bundled VPN client doesn’t work with this. I am trying a demo of the VPN client from Anthasoft, and it’s working like a charm. Installation was a snap—copy a certificate manager CAB to the device and install it, then install the VPN client from the desktop and sync. Somehow, the user guide didn’t make it into the distro, but if you e-mail them, they’ll send it to you.
Once I got the user guide, setup was easy, and I connected to my company’s VPN in only a couple of minutes. I then fired up the terminal services client which comes on the Treo, and I was able to log on and administrate a couple of server. In a pinch, this combo will work great, but I can’t see too many people working full time on a 2”x2” screen.
