Hays KD7UW) Distribution: world Organization: Apollo Computer, Chelmsford, MA Lines: 21 Keywords: Ethernet MAC Level Bridges Recommendation Request Hi, I am looking into MAC (Media Access Control?) Level Bridges for connecting Ethernets. I have a need to allow multiple protocols pass through a bridge (i.e. TPC/IP, DECNET, XNS, ...) which hopefully will at least filter out packets destined to the local Ethernet. I am told that MAC level bridges will do this ... however I am new to the game and am looking to the net for advice, recommendations, and education. Thanks, John D. Hays, Consultant P.S. I rarely see summaries of responses so will not guarentee the same, however if I get many private messages I will try to summarize.
