FreeS/WAN is the way to go. It works fine with 2.4.x kernels and will interoperate with Windows and other FreeS/WAN implementations. You'll want to read up on the documentation for interop, as I believe Windows has some limitations that restrict what FreeS/WAN capabilities you can use. I built a FreeS/WAN kernel based on the debian patch package, but I didn't find that to be any easier than building it following the steps given on the freeswan.org web site (in fact, that seems to hold true for all Debian packaged kernel patches...). I still built my kernel using make-kpkg, but I did all the patching and building of userland tools by hand. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
