I have a similar setup here only I use a Webster Multigate to do the IP-in-DDP
en/de-capsulation for my PB170 (like your DUo, it's LocalTalk only), and before
I had the Webster MG, I also set up someting similar using IPNetRouter on a
Mac. What I had to do there was to create a 2nd logical i/f over the ethernet
i/f so that I could route pkts back to the IPDDP side. You may have to do
something similar on your Linux box: split your network into 2 (or more
subnets) and put the Duo on one, and the Linux box on both (using IP aliasing)
and set up a static route between the two sub-nets. Am I making sense? Anyway
e-mail me if you want more info, as it's off-topic for this list.
