I have used CIPE successfully on both Linux and W2K with few problems.  It
certainly does what it's supposed to do.

PKCIPE is now working, from all accounts, but only on Linux, not Windows.

IPSec gets a bit heavy for a lot of things, but one thing I do like is th
idea of opportunistic encryption, which I believe FreeS/WAN does.  That
could be very useful for our purposes.
