I'm doing more or less the same thing; check out 
"http://www.newell.arlington.va.us" (one of these days I'm going to put 
my config in there in detail... :-)

I also include "options IPFORWARDING"; I don't know if you need it.

When you start up, does "ifconfig -a" show "ep0" with the correct values?

Also you may have to set the routed flags to "-s", the default in 
sysconfig is "-q".  This means routed comes up in listen only mode; it 
doesn't announce routes.  In my case my provider (the org I work for :-) 
requires that I RIP in my routes to them; thus "routed -q" fails whereas 
"routed -s" works.

In your case there's no route to your internal route from your tunnel
server: 

  mnewell@lupine: ping 194.159.66.50
  ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway ermin.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.98)
   for icmp from lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (198.116.2.100) to 194.159.66.50
  ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway ermin.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.98)
   for icmp from lupine.nsi.nasa.gov (198.116.2.100) to 194.159.66.50
  ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway ermin.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.98)
  ^C

so either you're going to have to (a) have the owner of 158.152.1.98 
install a static route to 194.159.66.0 or you'll have to RIP the route 
out yourself.  

Try killing off routed, then from root do "routed -s".  Wait 30 seconds 
or so, then see if it helps... 

Thanks,

Mike
