Wow.  Some days I wonder how I still even have a job.  You are correct - I forgot that this router also has a tunnel PIC installed and am used to hitting TAB to complete commands. :-/

After reviewing the documentation on the service packages settings, it does not appear as though the AS II PIC supports logical tunnels at all, confirming your earlier post:

In fact, it seems to be the only type of tunnel that it cannot create.

Sorry for the epic fail.
