Thank you for this first reply.
 So, the only way is to use OpenBSD-current with npppd, and there's no other 
way to do it ?

OpenBSD Gateway that can works natively with MacOS and Windows clients. I've 
had very good success with npppd's L2TP VPN on OpenBSD snapshots. Due to it not 
being linked, it's not built by default. With OpenBSD 5.1, I found an odd 
keepalive failure that prevented my tunnel from staying active for more than 10 
minutes. I do have odd issues with my old-as-dirt soekris crashing, but I blame 
memory exhaustion more than running beta versions of OpenBSD. A couple other 
oddities you'll encounter deal with routing (if you don't want to route *all* 
traffic to the VPN), and the lack of any real documentation outside of the code 
itself, and no alternative ways to authentica!
 te other than RADIUS and a flat file. Do a quick search of the archives for 
NPPPD and check out a brief article on undeadly giving some overview. Then read 
the code: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.sbin/npppd/ > I know
