The l2tpd daemon is indeed abandoned but working with itself, I worked with it for testing purposes and it worked between two nodes of itself, but I recall (badly) that there was some problem when connecting to Microsoft L2TP VPN. You should try this, the problem I had might be related to a specific implementation of a firewall ALG and not the to l2tpd daemon itself. The configuration of l2tpd is strange and non-trivial, unfortunately I do not have the setup I used at the time to connect to the MS server. The main hurdle to pass it to figure that you need to send commands down a fifo line in a semi-cryptic format in order to make it connect, otherwise it will sit idle and will not try to connect out of its own will. There is work in progress to get L2TP into the kernel and a small daemon outside as with PPP, but it is incomplete yet to the best of my knowledge, it is obviously not in any recent kernel so it doesn't help you without patching anyway.
