Hello Simon

Your ASA does seem to support L2TP remove VPN. In the example shown in the documentation below, a Windows 8 PC is connected to an ASA similar to yours using L2TP over IPsec using Pre-shared key.

> **[Configure L2TP Over IPsec Between Windows 8 PC and ASA Using Pre-shared Key](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/layer-two-tunnel-protocol-l2tp/200340-Configure-L2TP-Over-IPsec-Between-Window.html)**
>
> This document describes how to configure Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) over IPsec using pre-shared key between Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA)

I hope this has been helpful!
