  The IPsec implementation in Windows 2000 does work with FreeS/WAN (the
Linux IPsec implementation), although not well.  I think you need to use
pre-shared secrets -- no public keys -- and configuration is a pain.  No way
to do a dynamic IP, either.  Microsoft seems to view IPsec as a way to
transport L2TP, rather than a full-fledged secure transport in itself.

  Microsoft still seems to favor PPTP as a VPN solution.  I cannot say how
well it works, as the security concerns with PPTP have kept me away from it.
