Yep!

The usual problem getting these talking to each other is not setting a
suitable netmask in the !TCPIP side.

attach aun ka0
route add 127.0.0.0/24 ka0 127.0.0.2 1
route add 10.0.0.0/24 ka0 10.0.0.1 1

In !TCPIP, the netmask is given by specifi\ying the number of host bits
in the dest address as shown above.

On the !Internet side, I have the following:

IF "<Inet$Error>" = "" THEN inet:bin.ifconfig ka0 inet netmask 0xff000000 metric 1 10.0.0.1

IF "<Inet$Error>" = "" THEN inet:bin.route add 158.152.25.231 10.0.0.1 1

This for the test setup I used. I have run them with the IP addressed the
other way round, ie the !Internet side of the AUNLink having my demon IP
address and !TCPIP acting purely as a router with an IP address from the
private nets range, which you can get away with so long as you dont do
anythng that migt cause private net addresses to appearr on the
Internet.
