The VPN mini-howto at sunsite (which will hopefully be a full-blown HOWTO
soon, to be co-authored by yours truly). Is that the one your talking
about?

No, as with other forms of encryption, due to US government regulations..

Not sure about mailing lists for export regulations specifically, but
there are quite a few encryption mechanisms under Linux. The VPN
mini-howto currently covers using ssh+ppp to do encryption, but there is
also CIPE, and some IPSEC/SKIP stuff being done..

Yes, TCFS is currently implemented (to what degree, I'm not sure). You
can find it at http://edu-gw.dia.unisa.it/tcfs/. You can find CIPE at
http://www.inka.de/~bigred/devel/cipe.html
You can also find a few good RPMs at ftp.replay.com, which is outside the
US.
Perhaps if Ted T'so is listening, he might care to comment on his IPSEC
work or charter, and make any corrections?
