- The question came up in a discussion of whether we should stop bridging 2
- of our networks and route between them instead. Someone said (incorrectly,
- as it turns out) "You can't run DECnet over 2 Ethernet adapters". We can
- probably solve our problem by configuring the bridges to prevent certain
- protocols passing through them, but we wanted to know if routing was
- possible. Cheers, Neil.
