Try doing "route --help" and see if ddp (Appletalk DDP)x25 is listed.
There is also netatalk package (AppleTalk)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/netatalk which is available through the
Universe.  I came in a little late so I haven't seen all of them, I just
saw somebody mention DDP and Appletalk and implementation so I figured I
would jump in and throw out some help.
