On the Windows client, does it use PPTP or a custom client?  If the
Shiva can be configured to use PPTP there is a PPTP package for Unix
clients (I have used it as a server, but not a client) but can't
remember the name.  If it is a custom app, good luck.  I am looking into
the same thing for my PIX VPN.

do a search on Yahoo! (which will take you to google, but hey I plug)
for +PPTP +Linux
for more info... or use this link

you might also look at
