[Voyage-linux] Question regarding OpenSWAN, FreeSWAN, or racoon

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Hi John,

I did not tested the openswan in voyage, but I have already enabled some 
kernel modules to support OpenSWAN.  I heard that 2.6 kernel (or only in 
debian favour) have included IPSEC support. 

If I were wrong, then let me know how to get it supported, I am willing 
to include any patches in the kernel by request. 

I think there are some users using openvpn . If anyone has experience in 
using VPN in voyage, please share your experience as well.
