But can yours do a sit/6in4 tunnel like what is used to do v6 tunneling 
from say, tunnelbroker.net?  That, as far as we've been able to find, 
require the PIC to do it.

Native isn't available at the one location where the m7i just happens to 
be, so we bring in a tunnel from HE.

Don't usually deal with sales people - hate the thought of listening to 
(usually) mindless drivel about how great a product is blah blah blah.

I'm a cisco person by experience (pretty much anything in the 7500, 
7500, and 6500 series).  I've got some experience with Brocade/Foundry 
due to the switches we use.

I can only go based on what the person who was setting this up saw and 
experienced - and the fact no matter how hard we tried, couldn't get the 
tunnels to come up on the m7i - even after following multiple examples 
and even the instructions directly off tunnelbroker.net.
