I just looked at openswan but on trying to install it got:
WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!
Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security.
You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that
this is what you want to do.
openswan ipsec-tools libgmp3 gawk host
Given the functionality involved, I'm a little hesitant to proceed -
just call me wimp ;)
It too is IPSec based but the router I connect to allows both IPSec and
PPTP.
