That's not my experience..... I've just set up a new IPsec server
which seems to work OK with Windows and Linux clients. Not tried Mac
OS, but it will probably be OK.
Just whatever you do, if you're using openswan, build it from source
tarballs... The Debian stable packages are very, very, broken with
xL2TPd, and other l2tp implementations.
I even had to have the horrific issue of the IPsec server behind a NAT.
Once I ironed out a few creases, it worked near enough first time.
