My immediate response would be yes, it should.  If the Hayes Interbridge is a 
zone "transparent" bridge (ie. does not create a new zone) I don't see why it
wouldn't work.  NCSA Telnet should be sending appletalk encapsulated TCP/IP
packets, which look just like appletalk packets to the Internet bridge.  The
Hayes Interbridge should just route them to the K-box.
