When the hard drive in my check point firewall[1] recently went off to  
the big bit bucket in the sky, rather than buying another drive and  
resurrecting it, I got one of those groovy Linksys BEFVP41 boxes.  Very  
nice, and has built-in IPsec.  I was able to (literally) setup a VPN  
connection from my PowerBook (OS X uses KAME) in about 3 minutes.   
Linksys also has some decent docs on doing the same with Windoze.   
Doing the same with Freeswan should also be equally simple.

[1] Yes, I was running Check Point NG FP3 at home until recently.
