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 have a router on the LAN, so could it all be configured 
to use that to bounce packets right back?
I take it most internet routers aren't going to route UDP/700?
which is why the bridge program vs sending raw DECNET UCP/700?

Aloha, Angela
