I thought that Apple IR was for interconnecting
AppleTalk networks *over*
TCP/IP (i.e., as a router for routing AppleTalk through the Internet as
opposed to the Internet through AppleTalk), not for MacIP specifically,
but I could be wrong about this.
Trying to remember back 20 years so I could be wrong too...I thought
we had something like this working: NCSA Telnet (MacTCP) over
Localtalk via AIR to an Ethernet running into a RS/6000 (5250
emulator) more Ethernet to an AS/400. And somewhere in there Mosaic to
the Internet (such as it was back then). Predating AIR was hardware
options like Webster Multigate which did the same thing as AIR but
supported more Localtalk segments.
