What protocol does that tunnel use?  Multinet over IP?  If so, that's the expected behavior given the design errors of that protocol.  For all others, the connection should come up as soon as packets start to flow back and forth reliably.

I've found Wireshark a useful tool to look at problems, though unfortunately Wireshark parses many DECnet frames incorrectly.  (It makes a particularly embarassing mess out of routing packets.)
