     I have a Mac IIfx running A/UX 2.0 with an Ethernet card installed.
Additionally, the Mac is on an Appletalk network (other Macs, file server,
printer).
     Is is possible to use the IIfx as a gateway to the Internet (the IIfx
presumably would be hooked up) if the other Macs on the Appletalk network
use NCSA Telnet (encapsulated IP packets)? That is: could the other Macs
telnet/ftp to Internet sites using some kind of software running in the
background on A/UX?{}.'
    Is there any such program? Commercial? Non-commercial? How difficult
would it be to implement, if possible?
