Barry,

Everything I've read on freeswan HAS thoroughly confused me =)
It appears from what I gleaned that there must be TWO endpoints and each 
endpoint must be running Linux. Maybe I'm missing something on the 
'roadwarrior' side...but with the examples I saw it was 'install linux 
on laptop and ipsec, make a keypair and some other jazz and voila'

Do you have links to the web resources you used to set it up by chance? 
I've scoured freeswan.net, which only added to my confusion.


Thanks,
