NO. The VPN client depends entirely upon the VPN server and/or software 
used. The university should be able to supply you with client software, 
or tell you which VPN client is compatible. Mac VPN clients are few and 
far between, however. I use Netgear hardware VPN here and no client 
software is required. I also use a Farallon Skyline card in my 
PowerBook 2400C with great results.
