After a certain amount of searching, I've now re-discovered the wiki
page which describes the AUN-over-UDP protocol (as implemented in the
ethernet gateway) for running virtual Econet across the Internet.  In
case anybody else was also looking for it, it's at:

http://beebwiki.jonripley.com/Routable_AUN

I'm in the middle of doing a bit of work on the Linux kernel Econet
stack at the moment, as it happens, so I will see if I can slip this in
there too.
