L2TP/PPTP is not exactly the same as L2TP over IPSec which is what we are talking about here. It would be useful to have a client, however, most of the time these clients are just custom scripts that setup a GRE connection to tunnel PPP though. There is a plain PPTP client out there for debian, it should be a matter of course to get it working for the N800. Once you mix IPSec into this, things get a little crazy. This is shaping up to turn into a suite of VPN based clients it looks like.
