The router should pass all VPN requests to the outside system. The router has nothing to do with it, unless you intend to connect your home network (in its entirety) to the other network, then the router makes the VPN connection and dd-wrt has configuration pages for that function. Once the router connects with the other network, why would you be running an OS2 client? AFAIK, dd-wrt passes through all client VPN connections.

While the WRT54G as a basic network device works fine with OS/2 (I
have been using one as my main router here for many years), my
question was related to an OS/2 VPN client - from what Lewis says
the VPN support in the WRT54G (even flashed with the DD-WRT
firmware) does not have an OS/2 compatible client that is able to
access the system from another location via the Internet.

the DD-WRT firmware on a Linksys (or other compatible router)
is extremely compatible with OS/2....never ever had an issue,
and I've run this type of hardware firmware for many years now
- long enough to 'burn out' the router since I overdrive the
transmitter by 200%. I run an average of 500-700GBytes per
month through mine.
OS/2 did not report the PC's name in the way the router
expected (which only led to a blank name in the client table
the router served addresses and DNS perfectly). I believe it
took an optional statement in the tcpip.config file to have
the 'name' show up in the client table on the router. The
router and firmware is totally compatible with DOCSIS and all
PPoE variants, PPTP, L2TP etc. DD-WRT works with all dynamic
client services, too. Preconfigured for Dyndns, freedns,
zoneEdit, no-ip, 3322.org <http://3322.org> <http://3322.org>,
easyDNS, TZO, DynSIP and you can configure a custom ddns
service too. Overclocked it will handle a 27mb wan connection
with the SPI firewall turned on, and about 30mb with the spi
turned off and safely fanless overclock to 250mHz.
