By tunneling, I mean that it would be encapsulating appletalk within IP
packets for routing between distant/separate networks.  (Joining two
sites of a company, for example.)

UAR will allow you to specify remote sites to setup tunnels with, along
with handling the local appletalk seed (or non seed) routing..

(I run netatalk and/or CAP right now.. they both work fine, but neither 
handle tunnels.. UAR + CAP handles it though..)
