That assumes your OS of the week doesnt have overshort DNS timeouts, poor
backoff algorithms, inability to cope with low speed links and 75 second
connect timeouts.
I too think the easy answer is a TNC that talks PPP - perhaps even with
an AX.25 over PPP spec added

I've been thinking of this kind of thing for quite a while but haven't
had much time to *do* anything with it. While AF_AX25 provides a clean
connection for pure AX.25 network sockets in an OS, its unlikely IBM,
Apple, Sun, SGI, and Microsoft would bother to implement it. OTOH a
traditional IP connection to a Well Known Port could implement a
"virtual TNC" on that port. This might be implemented in a *NOS-style
program, or in the TNC itself. If one were to write a PBBS it wouldn't
be too hard for it to connect to the "virtual TNC" this way. Causual
users could telnet to the thing, maybe on the traditional telnet port
but on a unique IP address. Each user would get their own virtual
TNC complete with callsign. Not that I expect all that much of a "shared
network TNC" but if one is going to bother, one should design something
far away above what we currently have.
