Is there particular vpn software that you can recommend?  I
experiemented with something called vpnd by Andreas Steinmetz with
some success, but I had some strange problems with my firewalls while
using it, and it seemed VERY slow.  I now think the firewall problems
were probably unrelated to the vpn, but the speed is still an issue.
I was getting throughput of about .25 Mb/sec on a 10MB ethernet.
So I'm wondering in general what are the options for vpns on Linux.
