Hello -

I'm writing in regards to the FreeBSD Handbook section "VPN over IPsec"
found at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ipsec.html.

It seems to me the documentation is incomplete and I'm just writing to
verify this.  My reasons for believing the documentation is incomplete
are:

1) "This article presents a number of scenarios, and strategies for
implementing a VPN for each scenario."

	I only see one scenario for implementing a VPN.

2) "3. Configure additional software on the FreeBSD gateways, to allow
Windows machines to see one another across the VPN."

	I see the first two "stages" of implementing the first scenario
but not the third.

I came to the handbook, which has been incredibly helpful in many other
instances, to try to find out how to create an IPsec VPN between an end
user's machine, running either Windows 2000/XP or FreeBSD, and a remote
network, as would be done in a traveling user, remote access from home,
or wireless security scenario.  I'm sure many others have set this up
but the first place I go to for FreeBSD documentation is the handbook.

Any help with my question and any information about possibly completing
the handbook would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Ben
