Stephen:
Are you talking about routing or bridging here? By tunneling IPX over GRE
means your backbone is IP only, and both ends of your routers are IP and IPX.
If you setup your tunnel properly then IPX routing should work over the GRE
tunnel. By the way, IPX packet does not support fragmentation, so you may
need
to set your IPX packet size on the TR IPX stations to something less than
1500
bytes.
HTH,
William
