We're presently debugging and extending the WIDE IPSEC implementation
to do tunnel mode, and this IS being done in South Africa :)

The WIDE implementation, IMHO is a pretty clean one, and since it
is inherently a FreeBSD implementation rather than a port, I'd 
suggest that it be considered as a strong candidate for the "official"
implementation. 

We also have plans for an ISAKMP implementation. If others volunteer
to do some of the non-crypto ISAKMP stuff, then we can do the crypto
part and that would speed up the availability of isakmp.
