OpenVPN Compatibility?

Does anyone know of a way to get OpenVPN to work with an iPhone? Our business utilizes OpenVPN and I'd like to let our iPhone users access through this type of connection. Thanks for any thoughts!

MacBook Pro 2.16, Mac Pro 2007, Mac Pro 2008, iPhone 3G, Mac OS X (10.5.4), Both Mac Pros running RAIDs

I gave GuizmOVPN a try and must say it works perfectly. Really bad that Apple does not allow this great software in the app store and give the developer access to the appropriate API's. I worked for hours to get ipsec running on my Linux server togther with the iPhone and must say that the experience is very disappointing. The connection goes down automatically after a few minutes when no traffic flows and it's not hopping from 3G to WIFI, etc.. That's unusable for me. GuizmOVPN stays in the background and keeps the connection open/makes a transparent reconnect. This is how it should work.
