The short answer is no, you can't run TCP/IP to a T-R through
either a 3745 or a 3174.

The long answer is probably the same, after a lot of fancy systems
design work and programming.  Neither the 3174 nor the 3745 is
especially programmable, at least with released tools.
As I see it, it's a problem in control unit programming.
