Macos – Connecting to a Checkpoint VPN-1 from Snow Leopard

ipsecmacososx-snow-leopardvpn

Checkpoint SecureClient doesn't work with Snow Leopard, so I've been looking for some other options. VPN Tracker appears to work, but lacks username/password (XAUTH RSA) authentication support (PSK and X.509 only, it seems), so I can't use it to connect to our VPN-1 box.

I've looked at IPSecuritas, but I can't figure out how to configure it – specifically, mapping over the settings from the Checkpoint VPN-1 SecureClient. IPSecuritas has a billion more options, which I presume of course SecureClient was just hiding from me because obviously it knows what to do to connect to a VPN-1, and the IPSecuritas forums are generally full of questions with no answers, so that doesn't really appear to be a quality avenue for support.

Does anyone have an XAUTH RSA IPSec VPN to a Checkpoint VPN-1 working in Snow Leopard, and what software did you use?
