FreeSwan and Win2k

[Gordon Chamberlin]

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the heads up.  Please take a look at

http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.95/doc/interop.html

and

http://vpn.ebootis.de/

it is possible.  Let me know what you think.

I am currently subscribed to one of the freeswan lists and it seems that
people have the road-warrior to freeswan connection working for win2k.
