We haven't investigated the Win2K IPSec client, since the initial VPN release (3.0.2) is targeted for network to network connectivity. However the software doesn't exclude connections by IPSec client software, it just doesn't facilitate them. So the Win2K IPSec client may work, but most likely it will not. The reason is that our initial release only supports the use of manual key exchange and most of these workstation clients only support IKE (automated key exchange). IPSec implementations for Linux (Free S/Wan) and BSD Unix system (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD) most likely will work fine with GNAT Box. FreeBSD has been tested since it's our platform of choice here at GTA.
Our plan is to have the next VPN release of GNAT Box support IKE, hopefully sometime in the Spring. At that time I would suspect most of the PC/MAC IPSec clients will work just fine.
