Be careful in assuming that IPSec is "standard-compliant". It's more of a reference model for implimentors to use. Interoperability between different implimenations is sketchy and usaully only works in a very basic configuration, such as Main Mode (as opposed to Agressive Mode) and with Pre-shared keys (as opposed to certificates). Since you have Windows PC's on the road, be sure that there are available clients that interoperate with FreeSwan. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
