Hi Scott,

I really cant tell much about IPsec other then i read myself.
IPsec = Internet Protocol Security.
IPsec is the cryptographic extension's to the internet's
TCP/IP protocol that let systems automaticly encrypt information before it
is send over the line.
There is a stable release for netbsd 1.3.3. and 1.4, in 1.5 it will be
integrated. See www.kame.net for more information.

With the other things i cant help you.
I believe plenty of other ppl can. I am also interested it these things
are possible. And yes, it sucks that ppl at work still work with nt.
Bye,

Reinoud.
