   Is it possible to access an AppleShare File Server across the Internet?
For example, if two (spatially distant) LocalTalk networks are connected
by FastPaths to local Ethernets which, in turn, are connected to Internet,
is there a way that each other's zones can be seen and the file servers
accessed?
   There technically seems to be a way if AppleTalk is encapsulated in IP
datagrams by the FastPath.  Before I spend my time digging into this, I
would like to know if it really is theoretically possible, and if so, how
would I go about doing it, drawbacks, etc.?  Thanks.
