I am wondering if anyone has tried to use IPTUNNEL across a WAN. We have
used it locally here at the university across our IP backbone, but the
masses want to know if we can do it on a grander scale.

Here is the scenario.

                     10base-T																Thick Ethernet
Novell Network (IPX) ----------> FileServer ---------------> Cisco Router 


56KB line                56KB line                Thick Ethernet
------------> IPNetwork -----------> Cisco Router -------------->
Fileserver


10base-T
------------> Novell Network (IPX)


The Cisco's are only routing IP, therefore anything outside of the two
Novell networks is pure IP.  Has anyone tried this?  Does anyone have any
opinions about this type of senario?  I have a feeling that any performance
will be lacking, but I don't know this for sure.

Thanks,
Peter...
