Thanks, Paul. I've already the "solution", as I'm not so much trying to get something accomplished (access machines "inside" which I can do just fine with SSH tunnel), as to figure out why we have these various, related, open source software packages available but no basic client-to-corporate "real-world" implementations specifically outlined for the Gentoo community -- that I can find. :(

Just a definitive answer to "which Gentoo packages and USE flags to I need to emerge so to do this"? .. would be a HUGE help (as weeks later I *still* don't know for sure). And if 60%+ of the folks following it got lucky with cut-n-paste from a how-to, then... great!

Say if all the related items were configured, tested and ultimately failed, if documented publicly it'd at the least serve as a good template for anyone else trying to troubleshoot a VPN connection when using Gentoo on a client machine.

Or, should I instead, just go outside and play? I thought someone else here had hoped to make something like this work... ;-)

Anyway, thanks again for taking a look.

Cheers,
