Currently I don't have access to one either. I have tested it previously
with FreeS/WAN and it worked but I have not tested with Openswan yet.
I don't see a reason why it would not work, though.

Last time I looked, MacOS 10.3 only supported Preshared Keys for L2TP/IPsec
connections. Certificates were not supported. That's a pretty serious
limitation. I checked the MacOS X updates website but unfortunately I don't
see any mention of certificate support (or NAT-T support for that matter).
Again, I haven't looked recently but I doubt that Apple added these features
withouth mentioning them. I also doubt that these subsystems are released
under the Apple Public Licence so we probably can't fix it ourselves...
