$499 would be outrageous for a VPN client... In my opinion that should be as
standard as a mail and news reader that comes with your distribution, or
just plain built-in kernel support that comes along with ppp and etc...

FWIW, A company called Netmax makes a Linux based VPN out of the box. They
clain it can be up and running in about 15mins. It cost $499 :( But if you
can get work to pay for it it may be worth the money.
