I just fired up vpnc and it seems to work, and I'm not seeing the DNS 
issues.

The trickiest part is matching the terminology in the vpnc README to the 
Cisco profile file. The "IPSec" ID and secret in vpnc are the group name 
and password in the Cisco profile. The Xauth username and password are the 
user name and password in the profile.

The group password can be recovered from its "encrypted" form in the 
profile using the form linked from the vpnc web page.
