Checkpoint VPN client for Linux - is there any?

[Noam Meltzer]

If I remember correctly CP has some kind of plugin/extension/some other kind
of lie called "snx".
Or at least "snx" was the utility for linux which was the VPN client.
You need some kind of license per user for that in the firewall.

It worked for me several years ago with Ubuntu 08-04 (after a little
hacking, of adding some missing '.so')
