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: http://www.macwindows.com/Network.html#VPN 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.
