Thank for reply.

I using 2.6 so no ipsec device.  Problem I say below is causing
problem for interface line.  I have not know device for adsl, can be
ppp0 ppp1 ppp8, any ppp.  This because l2tpd assign anywhere ppp and
can take away ppp0 - ppp3 I using for ADSL modem.  All need to happen
is for one adsl go down, then sometime ipsec->l2tp happen, now ADSL is
ppp12.

Above make interface no working, I not know which interface= to using.
