Subject: [netatalk-admins] IP Encapsulation

I am new to this list, although I have been successfully using netatalk
on two Linux boxes at home for almost a year now.
I am wondering if anyone can throw any wisdom towards a solution to
providing IP encapsulation for a Mac laptop which only has a LocalTalk
connection (connected to my Linux boxes through an Asante Ether*Print box).
I understand that some LocalTalk to EtherTalk adaptors/routers provided
a service or protocol called "KIP" (I don't know what it stands for).
What I want is for one of my Linux boxes to do something similar,
unpacking IP packets from AppleTalk Streams coming from MacTCP and then
sending them on their way on the IP network. Anyone know of any software
that will do something like that? Any other (cheap) solutions?
Thanks for any help.
