I think whether SSL VPN need a so called client or not is depend on
the implementation. One could setup a tunnel via https, which not need
java applet or activeX. After tunnel established, you reached the
control panel of SSL VPN, java applet or activeX works at here. SSL
Vendor could also not use java applet or activeX at all, just a web
page, i think.

In many situations a Java applet might be considered are client
application, since it not natively installed on all computers. For
e.g. If I go to a library internet kiosk, and try to connect to a SSL
VPN, it will prompt me to d/l the Java Applet, and depending on the
security level of the kiosk, it will most probably NOT allow me to d/l
this applet. Thus preventing me from accessing the SSL VPN.
