Hi,

    I have fixed IPComp for tunnel mode in FreeBSD 4.8 (I still need to 
cleanup the code). I beleive it should be easy for you to apply the 
diffs to FreeBSD 5.2. I will contact the Kame group and try to see how I 
can deleiver the patch. Since the R&D was done on the company's time I 
would like to have myself and Xiphos mentionned in realsing the patch.

 Regards,
