It's possible to create a client implementation with very little
intelligence in it. Just push a button to connect/disconnect. Some
hardware gateway vendors ship those for free (for Windows, probably).
Gateway implementations need to take much more into account, like having
multiple physical interfaces, many concurrent connections, connections
to RADIUS servers, remote configuration, whatever. Gateways usually cost
money, unless they spell freeswan.
If you need a full implementation for Linux kernel versions 2.2.19 or
2.4.2 (other versions may work), you can contact F-Secure (not me). We also
support Solaris 2.6 , 7 , 8. And sorry for misuse of this mailing list..
