I am seeking advice as to whether it is possible for NCSA Telnet to operate
in the following situation.

We have a LocalTalk network of 6 macintoshes connected using PhoneNet.  One
of these Macs (an SE/30) has a NuvoTech SCSI/Ethernet adapter and is connected
to our Universities ethernet backbone and then to the Internet.  The ethernet
connected Mac is running Apple Internet Router as well.

What I want to be able to do is to allow LocalTalk Macs to talk to the ethernet
connected mainframes (Unix) and also the Internet via the ethernet connected
Macintosh.
.  This isn't a problem for 
the Mac connected directly connected to Ethernet of course.  I understand
that Internet Router should allow me to do this but I am having problems using
Telnet  - I don't seem to be able to get any response from the ethernet
connected Unix machines. The Mac SE/30 is fine but not the LocalTalk connected
Macs.  ANy ideas?  Is it my config.tel file for Telnet or is this just not
possible.

In the config.tel file of the LocalTalk Macs I have set hardware=AppleTalk. The
ethernet connected mac is in the same zone as the other LocalTalk macs.
I am using NCSA Telnet 2.3 (not the MacTCP version)

Any comments/ suggestions would be appreciated.
