The O'Reilly word list is linked from that article. I'm not sure what two sources Tom is referring to above, but it's spelled as 'IPSEC' on the O'Reilly word list, which is the second most popular spelling according to earlier posters on this thread. I'm fine with switching to 'IPsec' if it is in fact more common in the literature, but we just need to keep our word lists updated so that someone else doesn't come through and switch it back in 6 months. - Murray
