Cisco et al don't use plain l2tp/pptp - they allow the remote 
configuration of client routing.. traditional ppp doesn't allow the 
ability to push configuration to the clients outside of IP/dns/netbios 
etc, IPsec for example has this ability but straight ppp does not.

You will probably be better off by doing IPsec over L2TP as it should 
cover what you need
