True. Making WEP work has been a medium-size pain in the butt
in a couple of cases.

Unfortunately, making IPsec work is turning into bigger pain :-(
FreeS/WAN talking to FreeS/WAN works great, but I'm having a lot
of trouble getting the WinXP L2TP/IPsec client to talk to
FreeS/WAN - it won't establish an SA, much less go on to
negotiate the L2TP connection.

Blah :-P
