It appears the problem is encryption related. One side is demanding encryption and the other side is refusing. It looks like it's your side that's demanding it, but since I don't have a ton of experience with those logs, I can't say for sure.

It turns out the vpn administrator was fooling around was some parameters to get some handheld computers to work. In the process he broke it for me. It is because I am using ppp. It did not affect the PC's though. The mac client is quick and easy to setup but I might have to use the cisco client.

The Cisco client works fine, so that should be no issue. The administrator can even give you one of the PC profiles to use - you just need to convert the linebreaks to Unix and put it in /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles.
