Brad,
   NCSA Telnet attempts to route packets to the best of its ability, but as
far as the K-Box is concerned it has no say in the matter (although this
feature does work with the EtherSC, EtherPortSE, and EtherTalk cards).  
Since I have a very similar networking problem, I know what you are going
though, I was unable to find an "off the shelf" gateway that would handle
class B with 8 bit subnets and no promiscuous gateways.  To the rescue comes
the KIP code.  Although it doesn't handle the subnetting correctly by default,
source code is available, so a small tweaking of the code makes routing
more effective.

Good luck!
