Configuring IPsec on a Draytek Vigor 2600(x)

Anyone familiar with these?
I'm already using a couple of Billion routers to set up an IPsec LAN to LAN bridge. I'd like to know if I can use the Draytek at another location?
So I'm trying to use it in place of my Billion router and I've tried applying most of the IPsec configuration but I can't ping and can't get any usefull diagnostics.
The Draytek's secondhand, I haven't got the manual.

Have you had a look at the Draytek support site?
I never had the second site needed to perform a propper site to site setup, but teleworker on IPsec and PPTP was actually very simple from the guides, making use of the VPN helper app.

It doesn't cover Billion specifically, but there is some very comprensive info.

Thanks for the tip ...
Their instructions showed some advanced options I wasn't seeing, so I've updated the firmware.
Still not helping though. Thing that's bugging me is the connection never shows up. I wonder if I need a syslog client to find out what's happening.
The Billion is currently set up for "Perfect Forward Secrecy". I'm wondering if the Draytek can't do that.
*** UPDATE ***
First successfull connection, with PFS turned off. Don't know if its important or not?
Now I'm wondering about RIP
In case anyone's interested, had another look at this thing and I think I've figured it, PFS is on the "Advanced" tab and I think it supports Group 1 or Group 2. That's the  _G1 or _G2 in the option, so if you're using ESP with DES encryption and a MD5 authentication and group 2 PFS you select DES_MD5_G2
