Do I have a fairly good chance to get such a connection up and working?
I read the L2TP over IPSec article here on openwrt.org and I read Jacco De Leeuws Website. Both pages mentioned, that a plain l2tp deamon in version 0.69 does not work. Are the needed patches included in the l2tpd_0.69_mipsel.ipk package?
Thanks
Andreas
[Edit]
If you had success, did you used PSK or certificates?

See http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=4881 for a patch to RC5 to make l2tpd over IPSEC work.
(I have l2tpd as a client to a Cisco IOS router, rather than l2tpd as a server to which a Pocket PC client connects, but if one works I think the other should. I am using PSK for now.)
I would think that if IPSec + L2TP worked for a Windows XP box, it would work for a Pocket PC. I've posted my instructions on how to get IPSec + L2TP using Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) working to http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=4881. If you try this, I would love to know if it worked for you.
I 'm trying to do the same thing. OpenWRT with OpenSwan and L2tpD in order to supply an endpoint for my pocketpc. Did it work out now for you, ALuedtke?
The discussion might have continued from here.
