Checkpoint VPN client for Linux - is there any?

Hi everyone,

I would like to find a VPN client solution for Linux that is
compatible with what I currently use on Windows (in a VM hosted on
Linux): Checkpoint's Endpoint Connect NGX R73.

It does not look like Checkpoint offer a Linux VPN client (of any
kind? the VPN Client Download page has a Linux tab but there is
nothing there). Is this correct? 

I do not know enough to decide for myself (after googling around)
whether

1. the whole thing is hopeless and there is nothing compatible;
2. there may be 3rd party/FOSS clients that are compatible with some
   Chekpoint solutions and not others and more information is needed
   to pick one or more to try;
3. one can just grab "this thingy here" and see if it works.

I don't own the server side but I can ask questions - the trick is to
know what to ask.

Any advice? Thanks!
