Agreed. I haven't used a X1200 myself with Freeswan yet but I know a
couple of people who have. With the most recent software version (V.6.2
Rev. 5 (Patch 1) IPSec V. 2.1.1 from 2002/10/17 00:00:00) it even works
without having to set parameters through the SNMP shell!

I couldn't agree more on this ;-)))

Everything should work fine if you mark the CA cert as trusted. If
that's not sufficient, something might be wrong with your certification
chain.

That's right. Other subjects or strange alternate names seem to confuse
the Bintec IPsec software.
