I tried something like that a while ago.. it failed though.. I have an ISDN
Master in my Amiga, and want to browse the WWW with Netscape running on
Shapeshifter (nice, with CV64). So I thought, lemme try this:

    The Net <---->iwan.device<-->AMITCP<-->nullmodem.device<---->Netscape
                    (ISDN)              ^
                                        |
                                     The problem was here.

I guess I'd need to set up a full new node (with separate IP number, etc) for
the "mac". There probably is no way to use AmiTCP just as a router.. or is
there?

Or what would be best would be a mac driver for AmiTCP... please, someone
write one.. :)
