Cisco does with their PIX systems, but it's damned bloody hellacious
expensive. I was quoted about $20k for the firewall/vpn combo. Ouch. Also,
Nortel's Contivity boxes (VPN appliance, can work in conjunction with
GBox, does no firewalling by itself) supposedly have an OS X client. I've
yet to get it in my hot little hands though so as far as I'm concerned
it's vaporware. I might be (finally!) getting it this week; if I do I'll
send a note. There are/were several ipsec products for classic but I've
not paid any attention to them; if it doesn't run OS X I'm not interested.
For a pretty good listing of options check out the macwindows website:

FWIW, and IIRC, the Checkpoint OS X product was in beta but got scrapped,
and I believe the classic mac client is a 3rd party one developed by
datafellows, the same guys that made the old buggy Mac OS ssh commercial
client. This doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence in that solution...

We've pretty much decided on the Nortel solution, at about $5k, plus the
Cryptocard 2 factor Radius system at about another $5k. Half the cost of
the Cisco and we get a Radius/2 factor system in the deal(without which I
am loath to setup a VPN). Also, I did some searching over at securityfocus
and such, the Contivity stuff hasn't had much in the way of
vulnerabilities, which is another plus.
