>From the original post, I think I see the problem:
000 "home":   IKE algorithms wanted:
3DES_CBC(5)_000-SHA1(2)-MODP1024(2); flags=strict
000 "home":   IKE algorithms found:
3DES_CBC(5)_192-SHA1(2)_160-MODP1024(2)

It is asking for plain SHA1 and the response will only do SHA1-192.

NAT-T mode IPSec (network packets encapsulated in UDP packets as
opposed to ESP) should pass through vodafone's NATing gateway just
nicely.

Openswan (and other 'swans) support NAT-T, assuming the config as
"nat_traversal=yes".

Hope that helps,
