Also check out CIPE.  IPSec's great, but it's a little heavier both in 
performance impact and in setup than CIPE if you don't need the additional 
functionality of IPSec.

CIPE's at <http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html>.  It just 
tunnels everything between two CIPE-capable end-points over 
blowfish-encrypted UDP.  I've only done Linux <-> Linux gateways with it, 
but it's also supposed to support Windows if you need that sort of thing.

later,
chris
