   Since kernel 2.6 Linux is IPsec-enabled by default through the import of   
   the KAME-stack. Just take care, that the appropriate options are   
   compiled into the kernel or the modules are loaded. If you're running on   
   2.4.x, FreeS/WAN (or StrongS/WAN) are kernel-patches you need.   
   AFAIK the ISAKMPd is already ported to Linux, which may be an   
   alternative. OpenVPN is not compatible with IPsec and therefor unuseable   
   for the ZyWall.  Maybe you'll give a try on L2TP, but IPsec maybe the   
   choice.
