Well what you propose here is not exactly IPSec. It's an encrypted way to communicate
but not IPSec. Don't expect it to work with a Cisco router/VPN concentrator or a Win2K
machine.
FreeSwan is quite a good product, quite inter-operable with all paltforms I tested it
with. (It's been a while now, but I can find you the info about how I did it if you'd
like).

Howdy,
If you don't want to play with FreeS/WAN or CIPE or such, you could just
rig an ssh connection and run PPP through it. This way you don't have to
worry about patching kernels etc. (or at most, just compile PPP support
in, as modules if you care about your uptime ;)

My friend's machine on the internet is also 192.168.2.1 on my intranet,
and it works great. Whatever I feed this IP, goes thru the ssh tunnel,
including packets that ssh will not forward normally (udp packets etc)
My humble recommendation.
