I've not been allowed to lay my hands on it.  I'm being told that
"everything has been checked," so take that for for what it's worth
(as have I).

Our Cisco 3000 concentrator is doing IPSEC, so I know there are some
issues with NAT there.  The problem is trying to convince the ISP to
change their settings instead of insisting we spend $50/month more.
