[vpn] Transparent bridging over Cisco VPN?

[Jim Dueltgen]

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not the Cisco 3000-series 
VPN servers (or any other VPN concentrator you're familiar with) 
support protocol-transparent bridging to remote hardware clients, 
such as the Cisco 806 Broadband router or the VPN 3002 Hardware 
Client.  The literature for the 806 seems to suggest it's possible at 
that end but I can't find anything one way or the other on the 
3000-series.  The question is being driven by the need to support 
Appletalk over a VPN sooner than all the end-users can reasonably 
upgrade to OS X which would eliminate the need to use Appletalk and 
transparent bridging.  I've done this in point-to-point applications 
with low-end FlowPoint/Efficient DSL routers but that won't work for 
us in this situation.  Any guidance would be appreciated.
