Mac OS X uses the same technology as Microsoft does. They do this
to stay compatible with Microsoft, and therefore support connections
to Windows-VPN-Servers. So all of
also applies to the Macintosh Operating System. Yet Mac OS X offers
one great advantage: If you know racoon (will be described in the
server section), you can tweak the config-file of the mac to your
needs, which will get very handy later on.
