[opensuse] VPN to Netgear DG834

My network setup: My mail server lives on my home LAN with a Netgear
DG834G as the router between the LAN and DSL. At the moment I SSH in
and forward all the appropriate ports. Evolution is setup to use
localhost as the mail server. The problem with this arrangement is that
I either have to SSH into the server when I'm at home too or keep
changing the settings in Evo.
Now, the DG834G has the facility to act as a VPN server too, which its
web frontend says uses the VPNC standard.
I was hoping to be able to set it up in NetworkManager as it also claims
VPNC compatibility. The thing is that the information required is
different. Before I set it up in OpenSWAN (which I'm sure will work), I
just wanted to ask if anyone has had experience of doing this with NM?
It would be a great thing to be able to show people who don't yet use
Linux a simple GUI-driven VPN setup.
(Google was no help, so my hopes aren't high, but best to ask...)
