I Agree. I guess a bridged tunnel is a primitive forerunner of vlans.
It's not really new nor useful. Nor could it replace dlsw other than a
single point to point bridge. But the fun thing is that it worked.
BTW, the message "This command is an unreleased and unsupported feature"
came from my router, when I typed the bridge-group command on the tunnel
interface. So I guess it is unsupported.

Tunnels and bridges are not exactly what I would call unsupported. The
reason you do not see people using them instead of dlsw is that they
will
not work very well. Most dlsw is for sna traffic. Sna is an old an very
time
critical beast. It also puts a lot of useless traffic accross the link.
It
will flood your tunnel with local acks and then the sna sessions will
timeout and die.
