At present netatalk will only route between AppleTalk networks that are
directly connected to the machine it is running on. It cannot do
AppleTalk-in-IP tunnelling. However if you use Adrian Sun's version of
netatalk in conjunction with version 3.7 or newer of the AppleShare
extension then you can enter the IP address of the machine you want to
connect to in the Mac Chooser and connect over TCP-IP with no appletalk
involved.
