LocalTalk PC Card: Using It For IBM PC-to-VAX Connectivity

Is there any software for an IBM PC with LocalTalk PC Card that allows communication (terminal emulation/file transfer) with VAX machines not running AppleTalk for VMS and Alisa/Pacer -- that is, for example, a TCP/IP or VT100 emulation through LocalTalk ->Kinetics FastPath ->Ethernet?
We are not currently aware of such a product.

Since the LocalTalk PC Card sends AFP calls to access the AppleTalk network, you cannot use it without an AFP-compatible server running on the VAX.

You will probably achieve better performance by connecting to the VAX directly over Ethernet or -- if that is cost-prohibitive -- over an RS-232 serial connection using an IBM PC terminal emulation package.
