Could somebody please clarify one point here: when exactly does
one need routing capabilities of PL50 (or PL25) box? Assume I
have a LAN and one machine is configured as a gateway. That
machine is connected to PL25 Ascend box, which in turn 
goes via ISDN to PL400 (or whatever similar) to the
"big" Net. 

I'd ASSume, that in the above scenario,  the only MAC address
PL25 should see, would be the one of the gateway machine? And
thus, there should be no need to install routing option?  And
only when PL25 (or PL50) is *itself* used as a router, one
would need to have routing option installed?

Please reply via e-mail. Thank you!!
