  CMU is using IBM ATs and RTs as routers on their campus Ethernet. One
could plug the desired interface card in (Ethernet, Token Ring, and maybe
DECnet?), link the appropriate drivers into the router code, and *poof*,
you'd have a router. Maybe someone should look into combining KIP and
their gateway code. Bear in mind that it's been two years since I even
looked at that code, or played with one of the routers, and I may be
suggesting the impossible. I'm sure someone there will correct me. Tom?
Drew? (Heh.) Steve? Someone?
