You have the FreeS/WAN (freeswan package) on Mandrake 8.2 (may also be
on 8.1, I'm not sure) for IPsec implementation. It should interface
with the Cisco router with minimal difficulty. Check out
www.freeswan.org for online documentation setting up IPsec with
freeswan. We use it here at work, but have Linux at both ends of each
tunnel. The setup was real easy and there are quick setup guides at the
site mentioned above including the ramifications for iptables, ipchains,
and ipfwadm.
Good luck,
woody
