Unfortunately, you cannot do this.  The support for TCP/IP is included
in the A/UX distribution, but there is no support for AppleTalk via the
included ports on a Mac II( or IIx, etc.).  Because of this, you would have
to acquire a board to do AppleTalk just to get the AppleTalk service.
Unfortunately (again), this would not get you TCP/IP over that AppleTalk
network, either, because (as far as I know), there is no support for
AppleTalk-encapsulated-IP under A/UX.

Currently, the best solution for multiple Macs connected to an A/UX
machine is putting the A/UX machine on EtherNet and connecting the
other Mac's AppleTalk to the EtherNet via some kind of bridge box
(Cayman's GatorBox or Kinetic's FastPath).  This way you can use
NCSA Telnet (or our commercially supported Macintosh TCP/IP 
product TCP/Connect), to connect to the A/UX machine.
