I use straight gentoo linux at work. At home however I'm on Windows 2000 because the MIS staff where I work is uses some Sidewinder firewall and they'll only support the Softnet VPN client. So I'm stuck on Windows for telecommuting. Of course the VPN works like crap anyway.
I suggested that they use the LEAF Project [leaf-project.org] firewall so I could use any number of open clients. Not mention that LEAF is free. My boss considered it, but then realized that our MIS staff is a bunch of jackanapes and that they needed to pay for support. I totally understood.
So if anyone knows better than I how to connect to the Sidewinder firewall from linux, feel free to let me know.
Also Medal of Honor and Battlefield 1942 keep me entertained.

Google for sidewinder freeswan to find more, I did.

I'd be interested if there was something that didn't involve kernel changes though. It'd be an easier pill to swallow.
