Yes -- it's actually the best I've found.

Why doesn't that surprise me? :-)
My understanding isn't perfect, so there is a chance this information is wrong, but as I understand it the route.tab file must have entries that look like this:
a.b.c.d tab tab e.f.g.h tab tab Port tab tab i.j.k.l
Note that these are tabs, not spaces!
a.b.c.d represents what should be routed. d = 0 refers to a network and not a computer. e.f.g.h represents the mask, and each of e, f, g, and h should be either 255 or 0. The purpose of i.j.k.l is entirely unknown to me. As near as I can tell, always set these to zero.
For example:
; route for all 192.0.1.XXX to Midi port :
192.0.1.0 255.255.255.0 Midi 0.0.0.0
; route for all rest to Modem 2 port :
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Modem 2 0.0.0.0
I have successfully set up Masquerading via MIDI and STing and give this advice:
Use MIDI.PRG in the auto folder before STING
Use MIDI, not MIDINET as the connection option
Don't add Masquerade to the ROUTE.TAB -- use the checkbox under "Misc. Preferences" instead.
Let me know if you need more help. I'd be more specific, but I have to go teach a class.
