Is the gentleman who originally posed the question talking about the NAPs
awarded by NSF solicication NSF93-52 (of which there are only three), or in
the generic sense (all network access points, including the PAIX). If you
research the solicitation I don't believe you'll find suggestions of
supporting non-NSP connections or host-based apps other than the RA.
