NewtonOS doesn't know to look for TCP encapsulated in Appletalk packets.
It knows about TCP on serial lines via PPP, it knows about raw TCP on
ethernet cards and things that look like ethernet cards, and that's
about it. So, coping with IP inside Appletalk won't happen until someone
writes a driver for it.
