Oh, good queation.
The server is IPCop and the client will be the built-in for WinXP Pro.
The most I know about it is it's IPSec.

OK, just did an "ipsec barf" on IPCop and got:
+ ipsec --version
Linux Openswan 1.0.9

Their documentation on their site is very minimal.
The VPN setup page on the IPCop GUI mentions "Road Warrior" though.
Had no idea what that was, but on Openswan's page:
http://wiki.openswan.org/index.php/interoperating
it seems to list RoadWarrior as something DIFFERENT than
Openswan...although that's what "ipsec --version" says it is.

*sigh*

Thanks for any suggestions!
