I hadn't thought of the cross-connect possibility. The two customers are
not competitors.

A little more detail on my situation:

I'm running Windows 2000 Pro. I installed the Nortel VPN client from one
customer with no problem. When I tried to install the second VPN client
from Cisco from the other customer, the Cisco installation process insisted
on uninstalling the Nortel client before it would start the Cisco install.
When I contacted the customer's networking expert, he told me that two VPN
clients can't co-exist on the same PC at the same time.
