[HECnet] SIMH experience?

[Rob Jarratt]

The fact that the bridge turns everything into a single Ethernet segment is
one of the reasons why I wrote my own user mode router. It interoperates
with the bridge and also SIMH DDCMP (although I haven't tried that for a
while and it looks like I haven't documented the fact either!).
