However, in this particular case at least (ISAKMP), there is at least
one international implementation available. Check
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/security/net/ip/pluto-6.alpha.tar.gz
As the name implies, it's still an alpha release. It is usable to some
degree (if you're willing to write a few more lines of code, and use
the SWAN ipsec-0.5, found in the same directory). Supposedly, someone
else will now continue development outside the US now that i'm back in
Philadelphia.
