It is possible to connect with freeswan but unfortunately not with user
authentication turned on. And also unfortunately we're using (I think
like most people) user authentication and I can do nothing about it than
just to wait til it'll be hopefully soon implemented in freeswan. But I
read somewhere that it would be just on the agenda for the freeswan
server, not for the client... :((

Correct me if I'm wrong!
