I am using a cisco 501 with 3DES 10 user. I know you can set a 3DES VPN connection between 2 site, but can you use 3DES with the client VPN sofware? I am using the Cisco VPN client 4.x. Also, is IPSEC the best way to go? We are a small office and would like to gain access to the intranet securely, thanks for your help!

3DES will work. What happens is that whenever a VPN Client tries to connect to the PIX it will start pushing down all the policies it will start with AES that it is a higher version of 3DES so PIX will not recognise it and then client will move onto 3DES if the PIX is configured for it then it will make the connection.
