The 8209 really is a bridge. As far as I know, the nodes on either side of the bridge can communicate with each other totally transparently. They do not even know that the bridge is there. The bridge is totally self configuring. At power up it finds out who is out there, and then remmebers that information when a message arrives on either net. This is all strictly from a low level user perspective. In essence though the above is how it appears to work. I have worked with both versions of the box, (ethernet to token ring, and token ring to token ring). ---Ken Harstine
