Thanks for the pointer to he.net!  I signed up, and my tunnel was  
approved within a half hour.  I've already setup reverse DNS and the  
tunnel, and, 2 hours after signing up, I'm routed and operational!

What's weird, is that from the he.net tunnel, I can ping6  
www.kame.net, and I can ping6 my other ip6 addresse (my other  
tunnel).  But, from my old tunnel, I cannot ping6 www.kame.net.

Must be a routing issue somewhere between...

Thanks for the pointer guys!
