Is it possible to use telnet and ftp through  Apple's Appletalk Internet
router?
be able to use either telnet or ftp on a network with Apple's Internet router
acting as a bridge. We have a thin ethernet spine onto which is attached a
GatorBox running v1.6 of the Gatorshare software. Our Appletalk routing through
this GatorBox is set to Appletalk phase 2. Attached to  this GatorBox we had a
large mac network of over 25 devices which we decided to split because it was
too large. The option we took was to use Apple's Internet router running on a
non-dedicated Mac IIci to break the 2 appletalk networks and act as a bridge.

So now we have 2 zones on the appletalk side of the GatorBox. The intermediate 
zone - i.e. the one in between the GatorBox and Apple's Internet Router - is 
fine and all facilities are available. However on the other side of the Internet
Router from the GatorBox while all devices on the network are visible and 
Appleshare file serving all works fine - we can neither use NCSA Telnet or the 
VersaTerm Pro telnet tool to telnet to our mainframes via Appletalk. On 
attempting to telnet the response is that the connection was not able to be 
made - the local host or gateway was not responding. Can anyone help?
