That's a good question.  It was a very silly situation that I was trying 
to work around with GRE, L2TP and even AToM.  IIRC L2TP wasn't supported 
at all and the RP told me that the GRE tunnel would be handled in 
software upon creating the tunnel interface.  AToM wouldn't work because 
I couldn't get the IGP and LDP up and running underneath it prior to 
bringing up AToM.  I was trying to tunnel across hardware that was 
stripping out IS-IS.  Lots of fun...
