They might, but we have a firm mandate from IT (a decision I partly 
participated in) that XP will have NO place in our infrastructure. 
For now, our only supported desktop platform is Win98. Win2k might 
come around, but there's a push towards linux-on-the-desktop, in 
which case, much of those types of considerations become moot. ("Ah, 
you're running Win*? You're on your own... Cheers!")

I know with PoPToP, you can run it on the firewall itself, because 
(until I get a dedicated machine), that's what we're doing. :-)  I'd 
presume you can do the same thing with Freeswan.
