Huh?

He's got a FW/GW already, I thought. The point of a bridge is to
go between two networks with different physical, logical, or both
ramifications. IPF doesn't do that, at least not in the same way
that Jason's bridge stuff does. And Jason's bridge stuff doesn't
get around to letting IPF play with the IP packets, as it tosses
stuff about at a lower of the ol' seven layers.

At least, that's as near as I understand the problem. Point is,
the physical interfaces are not so much the issue.

Not sure this is particularly constructive (or particularly relevant
to the bridge code), so unless there's some burning reason for it
to continue on current-users, might as well reply privately to me
if you feel like setting me straight on some misunderstood point.
