I'll second the OpenVPN reco, I just migrated off a Cisco PIX to this
and it is the most configurable, and stable thing I have seen in ages.
I have connections from both Linux and Windows machines that sustain for
several days without a single hiccup whereas the PIX would often suffer
from non recoverable transient errors that tanked the connection.
