Well, since you guys got me thinking about it, I decided to try setting up
PGPNet so I could start playing with IPSec.  However, it seems just as
cryptic.  Are there any good references about how to setup IPSec in
general that anyone is aware of?

(My problem in this case is that I need to generate a X.509 certificate to
get anywhere, which I suspect they make easy with some extremely expensive
piece of software.  I know OpenSSL can generate them, but importing
doesn't seem to be an option.)
