Juan, thanks for the response and the suggestion.

Just as I changed the netmask on the other side of GW2 - several miles
from here - to 255.0.0.0, I realized it would affect my telnet session,
since I had changed the netmask and all so it included the "real" network.  
Sure enough...  <return>... <nothing>... "Doh!"

While I pondered the drive to the other building to correct the situation
from the console, though, I thought about this one.  I had previously
tried making both ends in the same /24 net, but had the same problem - no
broadcast traffic across the tunnel.

Since the corporate LAN is 10.x.x.x, I think I may try changing the end
networks to 192.168.1.0/24 just to keep from confusing those who follow me
on this project.  That way I can screw up all I need to and not have to
make the drive again.
