    Cisco has supported L2TP+IPsec and PPTP on PIX for some time now. You'll
    need to make sure you've configured one of these protocols on your PIX, then
    you can use the Windows client to connect.

    Note that if you use L2TP+IPsec, you'll need digital certificates on the
    PIX and on the client. You can configure the client to use pre-shared keys;
    search the KB on "L2TP preshared key" and you'll find the article that describes
    how to set it up.
