Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your follow up on this.  I actually went ahead an went
through the steps and installed the Mac OS X client (I am running
10.7.2 - Lion) and it works perfectly!  Additionally I can still run
other VPN (I've tried two different OpenVPN clients) services, and
they still work as well -- even with the iked process running.

AFAIK, I don't have any non-standard system configurations, so this
should work on Lion without problems.

Thanks!
