Thanks.  pipsecd has been the common recommendation.  I'd rather 
use IPSec, but I am trying pipsecd first.  I reserve judgement on how 
easy it is to setup.  The documentation lacks a working pratical 
example and a step-by-step guide.  If someone can provide me with 
their conf details and the ifconfig -tun0 output, I'll document it so it is 
easy to follow.

cheers
