Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression the 2000/XP IPsec
client is a fully capable IPsec client working in ESP mode, not AH+L2TP.
The only reason people use L2TP is 1) they have Win9x (and other problems :)
and 2) They want dynamic/assigned IP addresses that Microsoft only supports
through L2TP.

I've never ran an l2tp daemon, and frequently connect from Win2K/XP machines
with the native stack to freeswan/openswan servers using roadwarriors behind
nat.
