What just may be possible here, and it's something I'd explore in your position (and I may be in your same position in the near future...) is having the it department/staff provide you with a single IP address through which all your 44net traffic is routed and that becomes the gateway address on their side of the network.  they simply announce your netblock (min /24) out of their AS using BGP the same as any of their other netblocks and route all traffic headed to your net44 subnet to you.  you then set up a router that you manage with one interface on their network at the assigned address, and one interface on your network, or possibly an interface for each subnet.  heck, for that matter, they could probably just drop you one or more vlans from one of their routers and you could work from there.  once setup it would be very little work for them, it would likely conserve a couple ip addresses precious to them, and you could go about use of net44.  one thing I've always wanted to try was setting up a node where stations connected over the air with an ax.25 physical layer and configured their ip stack via dhcp.  thus the node holds a pool of addresses that in turn get leased to users as they come and go.  no need for end users to neer to sign up for address space that way.

Another comment, though there are always unique design cases, why
would you want NAT with 44net addresses? There are so many addresses
and the benefits to running native addressing across a network are
unrivaled.
 
I don't. 

The problem is our internet access is through the University, Penn State (128.118.0.0/16) and I have not yet found a way around that. I have been told it would take an act of God. That doesn't bother me (since I have seen it before ;). One possibility may be KINBER's new Pennsylvania Research & Education Network (PennREN) based here in State College. And I am still exploring that.

I would appreciate any other ideas. I do not have a formal IT background.  What is possible? could this N2N be relevant?
