There's no software on board for running a TCP-based tunnel.

Also, this is usually a bad idea since once you run TCP inside the
tunnel (which is now already guaranteed reliable) it gets quite
confused.

See http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/tcp-tcp.html for some
background on this.

You might be better off improving the antennas :-)
