SecuRemote NG is available for Redhat 7.2 and 7.3--not sure if it will work 
with later versions of RedHat.  You should be able to get FreeS/WAN to work
with VPN-1.  As for MacOS X, you can use third-party VPN clients like 
VaporSec or Equinux VPN Tracker.

SecuRemote NG FP3 Build 53515 has worked great for us on Win2K/XP.

RSA SecurID or any other time-synchronization tokens that can be accessed via
RADIUS/TACACS, e.g. Vasco?  Client certificates (Entrust or internal CA)?
