when you connect to the network (see automatically launching a VPN

Supported VPN Clients

The Motorola Connection Manager currently supports VPN clients from
the following vendors:

Microsoft

Cisco

Nortel

Checkpoint (please see Using the Checkpoint VPN Client for important
caveats)

NetMotion (please see Using the NetMotion VPN Client for important
caveats)

Using the CheckPoint VPN Client

Although CheckPoint's VPN client provides a command line interface that
applications such as the Motorola Connection Manager can use to establish
connections, the user cannot access other modes of the CheckPoint VPN
client while the client is in command line mode.
What does this mean for CheckPoint VPN users? Essentially, you should
keep the Motorola Connection Manager open only when you have an
active connection managed by the Motorola Connection Manager open. If
you want to establish another type of connection with the CheckPoint VPN
client, you MUST shut down the Motorola Connection Manager first.
