Linux:2, Cisco:1

[Austin Godber]

Hi for Linux you can try FreeS/WAN (www.freeswan.org).  Or here is a
miniHOWTO (http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/VPN.html).  Or ... will I
get crucified for mentioning it ... you can take a look at OpenBSD
(www.openbsd.org).  I've found it to be an excellent server/gateway OS
although I haven't used IPSec/VPN functionality.
