After poking around for a few minutes I would suggest either a Cisco
small business router which won't be cheap but that has a Linux client
because I know they have one or check out the documentation on
openswan/freeswan and look at their interoperability documentation. They
had examples of how to configure it for different VPN routers and will
probably list the devices so you know what to look for.
