Here are a few about IPSec. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/12/12/FreeBSD_Basics.html http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/12/26/FreeBSD_Basics.html http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/01/09/FreeBSD_Basics.html As far as connecting to it from your Mac, considering these show how to setup IPSec/Raccoon, and I don't believe the programs that come with OSX don't easily allow the connection. But there is a program by a third party that allows easy setup of raccoon. http://www.afp548.com/Software/VaporSec/ Hope this helps, and good luck. Cheers, Luke
