Brad,

That would depend on where your system sits at work.  I would expect it to
be 
behind a Firewall.  I think the Cisco is actually the VPN setup and only
sets up a Private VPN tunnel for you to access work.  The PCAnywhere is then
used to access your PC at work.  You can try and just install VNC server
on your work PC and try and access it as you would PCAnywhere.  If that
does not work you may need to change the IP Port VNC uses by default to use
the one PCAnywhere uses.  If that still does not work then you will need to
find a way to VPN into your work.  Once you VPN into your office you should
have no problem using the VNC.

I would start by installing the VNC Server on your machine at work and
then try and access it from home.

Good Luck,
Dan
