Can OpenBSD connect to MS L2TP VPN?

Hi,

I've searched the internet every way I could think of, but cannot find
an easy answer to whether it's possible for OpenBSD as a client to
connect to a Microsoft (Windows Server-provided) L2TP VPN?

Obviously, there are countless guides to setting up OpenBSD as a
server, to which Windows, macOS, iOS and Linux/Android clients can
connect. While I should be able to work out how to do the reverse, I
haven't succeeded.

The first question is: can OpenBSD, using base packages or xl2tpd,
actually connect to this type of Windows VPN?

If it can, and one of you has done so, could you please provide a
pointer? I have read up on base tools, but as far as I get it, they can
be used to set up a server, or as a gateway with another IPSEC
gateway. From what little I understand, xl2tpd can be used as a client,
but I have not managed to create a connection - or to establish 'flows'
- as per the instructions that package provides
at: /usr/local/.../xl2tpd-1.3.11.

Thanks,

Sacha
