Can you elaborate on this last point?  Are IBM and Cisco using different
rules for source-route bridging?  Why didn't it work?  We have parallel
Ethernet and Token-ring networks and I'm wondering if something in the
Cisco source-route code doesn't handle loops correctly.  The only thing
that is clear is that it isn't working for us, yet.  The code seems
sensitive to something in our net and isn't reliable, yet.
