There is a package that may be suitable.  It is found in universe:
vpnc - Cisco-compatible VPN client

And Cisco have a version of their client for Linux.  The installation of
this client requires that a kernel module needs to be compiled.  This is
OK if you are familiar with building kernel modules for Ubuntu, but is
not for a novice.

Hope this helps
