I think the LAT-to-LAT solution is the one they are looking for.

I just found the answer. LAT to LAT across an IP WAN.

http://cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/11_0/protocol/command/reference/pctrans.html
#wp1680

It translates the LAT into TCP and de-translates at the other end.

Bridging across multiple routers and a WAN link could get icky.

Maybe I'm missing something here but why can't you just "bridge"
across the FR connection?
