It already exists, in pieces.  We have a Shiva NetModem connected to one of
our AppleTalk networks.  The AppleTalk network is connected to the Ethernet
through a Kinetics FastPath.  Now, at home, my Mac II has MacTCP and the
remote dial-in software that comes with the NetModem.

So I dial-in from home, and my Chooser shows all the AppleTalk zones here
at UC Berkeley.  With MacTCP configured, I can run telnet, ftp, POP e-mail,
etc.  It's not fast, but it does seem to work.
