[GLLUG] (possibly) OT OpenBSD question

I feel I should begin with a confession.  I'm down to one CPU running Linux (that's down from 4) these days, and even that system is dual-boot w/ Win2K.  It's not that I don't love Linux, but things have taken me down a different path recently, and, well, I'm seeking intellectual thrills elsewhere.

Which bring me to OpenBSD.  Since tearing out my SecurePlatform firewall in March, I've been running OpenBSD 3.3 as my home firewall.  It's pretty slick and I've decided that I like pf much better than iptables (forgive me!).  So, I'm wondering if any other GLLUG-ers have much experience with OpenBSD, specifically in the realm of building L2TP VPN tunnels.  It has to be L2TP because that's all my new iPaq supports.

PS - If anybody is looking at OpenBSD, I've implemented some cool firewall monitoring tools for pf.  I'd be happy to share code or show off the reports.  This is an area that, IMHO, is somewhat lacking on OpenBSD.
