Yeah, which is what I'm attempting to do.   I've got two TAP interfaces
bridged together.   One SIMH talkes to, the other Solaris has an IP on.
Can't ping back and forth, however. :(

Do you have IP addresses set on both TAP interfaces? Does the Solaris bridging bridge everything or just ip? If it just bridge ip you might need to have IP addresses on both TAP interfaces for it to be happy. Check all the details you can find on how the bridge stuff works under Solaris.
