VPN Connection from MAC to a Sonicwall TZ 170

I have a client who decided he wanted to learn a MAC.  He has an exchange server with a Sonicwall TZ170 Standard OS running.  He wants to use Entorage to connect to his exchange server and get his mail.  I tried configuring the built in VPN software on the MAC to connect to the sonicwall (am using a shared key on the sonicwall).  It will NOT connect using a shared key.  I did some research and what I have been able to gather, the built in VPN on the MAC will NOT connect to the Sonicwall.  Sonicwall doesn't have a VPN client for the MAC.  Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to connect the MAC to my Sonicwall?  I downloaded and tried a client VPN Tracker but have found it virtually impossible to correctly configure.  I have tried many different ways, however still can't connect.  It would be nice if there was something as simple as the Sonicwall client for the PC that I could use on the MAC.

IPSecuritas is an alternative OS X client that claims to connect to SonicWall:

Vaporsec is another alternative:  http://www.afp548.com/software/VaporSec/

Worked like a charm.  I didn't get a chance to try the recommended VPN clients because I had to give the client back his MAC.  I will try once I get my hands on it!  THANKS!!!!

Is there instructions anywhere on configuring the IPSecuritas for the Sonicwall?
