i suddenly have a need for a (fedora, of course) linux client for at&t's global network client, and i found this page from a few years back:
https://nowhere.dk/articles/installing_at_t_global_network_client_on_ubuntu
which links to rpms for that package but they're a few years old (2010), so i have no idea what shape they're in now.
i'll give this a shot, but is anyone out there doing this, and can summarize how successful it is? thank you kindly.

I think I would go here.... http://www.corp.att.com/agnc/ and contact their support. They don't mention supporting Linux at all. And the versions of the supported platforms seem much higher than what is available for download of the old Linux SW. And only 32bit to boot.
As a kludge, I wonder if it would be feasible to run the GNC on an Android device while at the same time having that device at as a hotspot

everything i've found makes it clear at&t has no interest in supporting a linux client, so i don't anticipate suddenly running across a current *official* version.
And the versions of the supported platforms seem much higher than what is available for download of the old Linux SW. And only 32bit to boot.
which is why i asked if anyone out there might have a running version they cobbled together, or manually updated from an old version, or what.
i'm going to pry into the latest rpm later today to see what's salvageable, but if someone already has a solution, that would simply save me the time.

According to the last post on July 29, 2016 in AT&T's forums:
"There are no plans at this time for a Linux client."
So there you are. Perhaps you can cobble something together in VPNC or OpenSWAN or something that would work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Animal testing is futile.

The old linux client is java based and still works on rhel 6 at least.

java-based? i "rpm2cpio"ed the rpm i got from here:
ftp://ftp.attglobal.net/pub/custom/ibm_linux/
and i don't see any java content. i see a lot of ELF 32-bit LSB executables. do you have a pointer for the java version?

in order to keep track of what i've found so far, i created a wiki page and trivially copied and pasted stuff related to agnc just so i don't have to keep going back looking for stuff, and this is what i have so far:
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Agnc
i'm still willing to put in the time to get this working, partly since this would be a good way to refresh my memory on working with and salvaging old RPMs, and working with spec files and so on.
so ... where to go from here? i'm still interested in that alleged java client, i have found no mention of it in my wanderings.

Never seen a Java client. It is a GTK app.
If you manage to solve the missing old libs (you can get them from rpms of old fedora versions), you have a good chance to make it work.
