Les,
 the problem for me is the documentation - on one hand i am being assure
that the encryption is going to be handled at a very low lwvel, so that
it will become "ubiquitous and effortless", on the other hand i don't see
how the heck IPsec is supposed to travel through natted networks, since
the real change is to come with ipv6 and even there i seem to be missing
the magic component. the  worst part is that cipe works for me everywhere
and ipsec only in places where i have a routable address. to make it even
worse, cipe is idiotically easy to set up after you pointed out to me the
existence of the gui front end ;-)
