I was under the impression that OpenS/WAN was the fork of a pretty much
stopped FreeS/WAN. Don't know anything about StrongS/WAN and OpenVPN
works well for me. RH 9 has cipe which is lighter duty and easy to set
up.

If I were starting at this point, I would probably use openvpn if I am
in control over all hardware at all locations and use OpenS/WAN if the
intent is to integrate/migrate into Cisco solutions.
