Congratulations, Jason!
Bridging FDDI to Ethernet can be done with IP if the bridge "knows"
about IP and fragments the packet according to IP rules if the packet
is too big for Ethernet.
Doing that with AppleTalk can be done without any fancy machinery,
because AppleTalk packets have a defined maximum of 600 bytes,
regardless of medium.
Doesn't GigE have a bigger MTU?
