You are going to have some difficulties because SAP is broadcast based, and I suspect they'll be dropped rather than carried across the VPN.
Googling quickly, I found this. It might help, or give you a direct contact to talk to. If you get it working, please let us know. It'd be nice to have in our group archives. http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/linux-ipsec/html/2000/03/msg00320.html Oh, and lastly, there used to be a project called tipxd that would help you here. I'm not sure if it's still running or not. It might even be referenced in the above message.
