I believe someone already did this, for the 770.

A company called Stinghorn announced a L2TP/PPTP VPN client for the 770. It required that you flash a custom kernel, to get the support needed.

Unfortunately, their website (www.stinghorn.com) is dead now. Google for them, and you'll see quite a bit of stuff.

If someone has a backup of their cvs/subversion tree, it might make the task considerably easier, as it will just require updating things to the N800

4. iproute2
5. Our own custom made front end (possibly written in GTK+) that configures and Initiates/Terminates tunnels for openswan.

Now, I haven't investigated OpenVPN - it may be that much easier to implement this solution with that piece of software - but honestly, I looked at your post and said - HEY I KNOW HOW TO DO IT. So lets try!
