I have tried setting up MacTCP over Async Appletalk2 for a couple of days 
now without success. The only indication that it should be possible is
a paragraph in the user docs:

"It is possible to run MacTCP based programs such as Telnet, Eudora and
Fetch over an Async AppleTalk session. In order for this to work, the ARNS
server must be running on a network that supports static or dynamic
allocation of IP addresses on the EtherTalk network. Contact the ARNS
administrator if your MacTCP-based programs are unable to get an IP address
from the network."

Is there anyone who had managed to this to work? How do you set it up?
Should I select the Async icon in the MacTCP dialog box? Is there some
other
requirement?

I have tried it with a static address and everything looks fine until I try
to connect to some other computer over TCP/IP. The modem send/receive
lights
blink, but I get no reply.
