I'm not so sure I see why 'routability' is necessary.
All you need to be able to do is convince NetBEUI to encapsulate a few IP
packets that get thrown onto the secured internal network once it reaches
the host and you've got a problem.
Its a problem since you've just tunnelled past the firewall and its a
problem since most people have firewall/network configurations in the
crunchy on the outside, soft-on the inside variety that blindly trust
internal hosts.
