We use FreeSwan at NKS very heavily.

VNC is cross-platform. The RFB protocol is an RFC published spec, and
there are a number of VNC clients for just about every platform now.

I've used PoPToP and Microsoft PPTP clients a while ago, but I don't
recommend it for security reasons.
It is possible to use FreeSwan with the IPSEC implementation in
Win2k/WinXP. From the brief research I've done, you need to setup L2TP
tunnels to get transport mode to work. Anyone else spend the time
getting this to work?

We generally use the Cisco IPSEC client instead of the native Microsoft
IPSEC implementation. There are other VPN clients that are
interchangable as well.
