I need to have access to an external cisco VPN 5000 system from a

While I have never tried this with a _SuSE_ router, experience shows
that
W2K client -> Linux NAT router -> IPSec server
192.168.x.x
can work well.
My configuration is a fli4l floppy router (http://www.fli4l.de/) which
comes with an almost pristine 2.2.19 kernel, but with the VPN
masquerading patch of
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/VPN-Masquerade-HOWTO.html
applied. This patch, among other things, gets you an
ip_masq_ipsec
masquerading module which will do the IPSec magic, to the extent it is
possible.
I have no idea whether the SuSE kernels have the VPN masquerading patch
integrated. All I know is that I can do IPSec just fine through the
above-mentioned configuration.
