I have done this.  I use IPNetRouter on a Mac PowerPC 7200 also running
LocalTalkBridge (not sure this is relevant).  Setup was not difficult for
IPNR or for Marinetti.  After connecting, I run Spectum (v2.3 ?) on my
IIgs to telnet to a unix host, until Spectrum eventually freezes, then
reboot.  I probably have only connected usuing IP address and not using
DNS so I can't recall how well that works.

Good luck!  It is possible to do,
