I switched to /1701 and nothing changed. My client is a Windows 7
machine, so I traced with Wireshark.

There's a bunch of (6 main mode+ 3 quick mode) ISAKMP packets, then 6
ESP packets (these must be the encapsulated L2TP packets?), then some
informational ISAKMP packets (4) when the connection closes.

I don't see any non-encapsulated L2TP packets.
