Hmm. Is this the same machine as is running the bridge?

Yes, is that a problem?

Could very well be. The problem is that the bridge program cannot 
exactly feed the ethernet input on the same machine as it is running, 
nor hear data sent out on the ethernet port of the same machine. That 
is, unless the hardware will do this for you. Some hardware do, but most 
don't. So you don't see your own data, which makes it impossible for my 
bridge program to handle the machine it itself is running on.

I think I separated the bridge and linuxDECnet dnetd 
onto separate NICs so they can see each other...
dnetinfo shows:
The next hop to the nearest area router is node 0.0

but I don't seem to see any neighbors, so maybe still not right.
