One list of Windows clients is:

In theory, any two IPSEC implementations should interoperate. The protocols were
designed to support that. In practice, it is more complex.

Cisco have a client available which will almost certainly work with their routers.
I've been told it is just the IRE client, sold by Cisco under an OEM agreement,
but am not entirely certain of that.

The NAI/PGP client might be convenient if you also need email, files or disks
encrypted. These application come bundled together in their package.
