In more recent firmwares, the GroupVPN is set up for use with the
SonicWALL Global VPN Client (GVC).

AFAIK, the GroupVPN can *only* be used with the GVC, due to stuff like
Client Enforcing and Profile Distribution mechanisms in the SNWL box,
unless all the enhanced GVC features are turned off in the box, and even
then I'm not sure whether it'll work...

Older versions (And that excludes anything that runs SonicOS) will be able
to use the GroupVPN, but you'll need to have a firmware that predates the
GVC!

AFAIK the GVC is only available for Windows and Windows Mobile...

In newer firmware you will need to use a separate 'box to box' vpn SA...
