MacTCP isn't working. I think the AsanteTalk box simply won't pass IP through.

Yes it will, but IP is encapsulated in DDP packets as "Mac-IP" over LocalTalk. You need a Mac-IP gateway. I use a NetBSD box with a MacIP gateway I wrote myself, this does work over the Asante box.

Am I right in guessing that that is not just a software solution? I'm thinking that's probably more effort than I want to put into it if it is. Thanks.
