Hi, you can use CAVER (http://www.caver.cz/) to detect tunnels. In the first case you should not see anything while in the second you shold see a channel.An other program you can use i s MDPocket ( ' http://bioserv.rpbs.univ-paris-diderot.fr/fpocket/): It simply detects cavities (either tunnels or closed cavitiies) and outputs informations.
I successfully used these two software to characterize tunnels and cavities in a MD simulation.
