Arnie:
You got a nasty problem of Ameritech forcing an ATM card to prevent
users from adding NAT.
I would suggest: put the Ameritech ATM card in a Windows95 box, get the
ATM driver stuff working. Then add a NE2000 ethernet card to the Win95
box and install WinRoute (disable WinRoute's NAT), that turns the W95
box into a "cheap" transpartent bridge between ATM and ethernet
topology.
Then, cascade another 486/low-end Pentium box and run STN on it to be
the firewall/NAT for your real internal network on customer premise.
I know this approach (using WinRoute as bridge to two different network
topology) works as a Token Ring to Ethernet bridge, there is good reason
to believe it works as an ATM to Ethernet bridge.
Good luck on that one.
