The (ancient) code is still up on infradead [1] and if you look at the dates, you could probably dig up the patch submissions to this mailing list. Honestly, Android is worse than autohell. Maybe I'm biased by years of C and text editor/commandline 'IDE's, but Java/Dalvik/mini-oracle appears to have been designed by people who were either smoking crack or loved organizing code randomly across an unnecessarily large tree. In particular, Android uses git in such a simplistic and broken way that there is no possibility of taking advantage of the full power of git for the project. At any rate, that code probably isn't very useful nowadays because it added openconnect into Android itself as another VPN type. ie, not an app, but part of the core system. Very similar to how openvpn is integrated in to cyaogenmod. > Is there any link to the android client?

On a side note, I'd love to see how easy it is to integrate into Ubuntu's Phone OS and Tablet OS. thx, Jason. [1] http://git.infradead.org/ and search for 'jcooper'. All the repos starting with cm_ were a part of it.
