I just wanted to chime in on this. FreeS/WAN is an IPSEC implementation that I've used a number of times and they stay up as long as the internet is up on both ends. From what I've read it is very strong encryption and you can feel pretty safe that everything is encrypted well. I have sniffed around the firewalls looking for anything useable and haven't ever found anything. It does require a kernel recompile though and it does take some effort for the install. I don't know if these others like cipe are as strong or not. ( I just don't know enough about them ) I do know that IPSEC is supposed to be one of the best. If you want to read about them they are at freeswan.org.

Here's a little more information about what we're trying to do. We want to use it to link a remote branch office with our main office, there's a network on both ends so we need it to be up all the time. There won't be any users of any kind, just a box at either end linking the 2 networks. I've used W2K's VPN for letting users get in, but there won't be any users on this link. It sounds like Cipe might do a good job, but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks again for all the great replies!
