It only supports TCP. You can use it to connect an archie on an econet
to an archie (eg. if you have some non-ethernet arcs) but you can't use
it to connect a beeb to an level 4 server on the ethernet.

I did think about writing something to allow a true bridge between
econet / AUN, but it's .. non-trivial to say the least.
