Strangely enough I have just implemented such a system using KA9Q courtesy
of Phil Karn and a Packet Driver from the Clarkson collection courtesy of 
Katie Stevens who also cleared up a lot of problems for me. I got it going
on the 15 Nov 1990 and no problems at all, and it provides TELNET, FTP etc
to the INTERNET via AppleTalk and ethernet.

As I did not really do much I am reluctant to post a full description as 
all the credit should go to others ie Karn and Stevens.

The funny thing is that it came about due to a total communications break
down, I did the job for the wrong person who never asked for it, for the wrong
reason, I misunderstood the request, but it turned out that it was something
badly needed. 

If anyone wants details mail me and I will explain what I did in full.
