I'm down with that...but I just don't have the money to buy an Asante 
EN/SC for every one of my compacts. :)

There's a MacOS product called IPNetRouter that does what I want, but 
it's $90.  Since this is for a hobby project, I don't want to spend the 
cash on that... :(

In looking through old archives of various lists, I found that Bill 
Stundenmund (did I spell that correctly?) was working on it at one 
time.  I mailed him but have yet to get a response.

Thanks for the info.
