I think I got mine from http://anubis.gravity.psu.edu

(I think we have the real mccoy around here somewhere... )

I use the config file they gave us for Windows.

Then I just...

# /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start
# vpclient connect '<name-of-your-config-file-minus-extension>'

(and then authenticate with SecureId... or whatever you use)
