You'll need to run PPP inside it. I use the simple scripts at
http://www.webweaving.org/vpn-tools/
One -BIG- problem with any type of tunnels over TCP (ssh is TCP) is that
any TCP connections inside that tunnel get mightlily confused when tere
is a packet drop/retry on the outer tunnel; as the inner tunnels come to
about the same conclusion at the same time. And you get lovely little
avelances and your pipes wadded up.
