I asked a Mac group, and got two responses:

1.  timestep for Windows95/98/NT and Mac at
http://www.timestep.com/HTML/ProdConCli.htm


2.  "Network Associates (PGP Net) has an IPSec client - it supposedly works 
well with Cisco routers (if purchased through Cisco, it is fairly cheap) 
and their VPN solution - but I have not been able to verify yet that it 
will work with other routers and extranet boxes (like Contivity from 
Nortel).  I am also aware of Nortel offering their Instant Internet Access 
Router (~$500) that has VPN client embedded in its software for talking to 
other Extranet Servers/Routers.  We have been evaluating VPN / Extranet at 
work and presently (on the dark side) unless you are running xDSL or cable 
modem - the overhead for encryption is high - it is slow when the PC has to 
provide the encryption."
