Hi just ordered my N800 and was looking at the VPN options.

All looks familiar with not having the right VPN options.

If you look on Jacco website above you'll see a link to mine as I converted all that stuff to run on the ipcop version of Linux. Don't tell me now I'm going to have to do the same on N800!

Although I didn't have to bother with custom kernels as openswan is part of IPCop distro. All I did have to do was port L2TP; and configure PPP and Openswan for it to work. Less familiar with Debian as I'm a Redhat man myself (well for the last 7 years, was slackware before that).
