OK, I have a consensus 'from the world' that I can't use the provided
VPN Client with ISA - because the client uses the AH protocol.

So...  What are my options.  I have to use the client - but I can't go
through ISA to get there.  I know that the client does allow NAT - a
coworker has a Linksys gateway (doing NAT) plugged in between his cable
modem and his client.

Options?? Options?? And replacing the client isn't currently one of
them.

Thanks

ps - I'll reward anyone that can 'appropriately' resolve this issue with
a six-pack of Mt. Dew....

I had a similar situation trying to connect with the Nortel VPN client.
As
stated, NAT breaks AH so ISA Server is out if this is all you can get.
However, Nortel was in the process of implementing support for a "UDP
Wrapper" which basically wraps everything in UDP before sending it
through
the firewall and thus allows the packets to traverse a many-to-one NAT
firewall.  At the other end, it's just stripped down layer by layer.  My
knowledge of this subject is limited so I don't really know what was
done on
the Nortel side to make it all happen.  To make this work for the client
side, I opened up port 500 (Send Receive) UDP and port 10001 UDP (Send
Receive).  Port 10001 was the UDP port used to wrap everything in.  Note
again that support on the host side is required along with the
appropriate
VPN client in order for this to work so this is something you might
inquire
about from the VPN server vendor.
