Well, that's all fine and dandy...but they want roaming users to be able to
connect into the corporate network as well. They will be using a free IPSec
client on the roaming laptops. So, I suppose it will come down to the type
of authorization they intend to use in order to keep any stranger out on the
net with an IPSec client from connecting or attempting to connect.

Okay, thanks... I'll check it out. Yours is the first response I've
received that's heard of such a configuration. I'm still very skeptical,
personally.
