Since the original poster asked for an SSL VPN solution, OpenVPN is (unfortunately) not a valid response.
So, perhaps the folks who develop OpenVPN are misunderstanding something and should change their web site main page title to something other then: "OpenVPN - An Open Source SSL VPN Solution...".
Neoteris , which is now sold by Juniper , who call it "Netscreen SSL VPN" is an excellent out of the box solution, however it is not the cheapest choice. Personally I baked off Neoteris before they were bought by Netscreen, against Nortel Alteon SSL when it was in beta and Aventail. (this was almost 3 years ago). Cisco I believe isn't really an SSL-VPN as far as being a http rewriter like Neoteris/Aventail/Alteon....it simply uses SSL as a transport for a network client VPN (correct me if I'm wrong). If I had to tell you one cool feature to sell you on Neoteris I would simply start with the word "flexibile"........it can act as a reverse proxy/http rewriter, OR an ssl transport of TCP/UDP packets, OR as a full on SSL VPN Network Client......all of it pushed to the remote PC on connection, requireing zero management of the remote PC. It supports (with version 5) Mac/Linux/Windows in all these modes. Neoteris/Juniper was and continues to be (in my opinion) a generation ahead of its competition.
