Is it possible for you to get more information on this tunneling problem?
Sounds like either
a) the tech doesn't have a clue what's going on.
b) they are running a really hacked together setup
Interesting reading....
Looks like I have some RFCs to dig thru

Many consumers use one-way satellite Internet connections pioneered by DirecPC from Hughes. These connections transmit Web pages to a user via satellite, but rely on a dial-up modem and phone to send the user’s mouse clicks back to an ISP. They’re inexpensive, but only suitable for Web surfing. DirecPC’s other weakness is that it ties up the user’s phone line, unlike true broadband technologies.
Still, DirecPC and its clones can be useful for asymmetric applications. And if you don’t want to buy from a consumer-focused company, you can even roll your own similar system, thanks to Unidirectional Link Routing (UDLR), a new protocol. Originally developed by Hitachi, Cisco Systems, and France’s government-run National Institute for Computer Science Research, UDLR was standardised in March 2001 as RFC 3077.
UDLR provides a way to emulate a full-duplex TCP/IP link over any two one-way channels, through tunnelling and encapsulation. Though initially used for satellite communications, UDLR is also intended for future Internet delivery schemes. For example, the digital TV standard used outside of the United States has plenty of spare bandwidth for data broadcasting. A cell phone equipped with a TV tuner, already proposed for some location-tracking technologies, could use UDLR to receive wireless Web content at higher speeds than the ordinary cellular link.
