I know that Bill Croft at Stanford is working on this also, but I couldn't
wait for another release (I was spoiled as a child) and did it myself.

I have mods to the KFPS UDP code to support RTMP, NBP and ZIP and do
not require any modifications to the "masterbridge" code (atis) running
on the vax. Everything is implemented in the bridge and it seems to work
ok. Routing on the appletalk is accomplished via the RTMP tables in the
bridge and should not interfere with the existing ethernet routing code.

This allows me to connect my KFPS to my existing Hayes Interbridge network
and use the laserwrite from the VAX (yea!) as well as bring up several
mac/unix servers.

Intersting to note, I had some small hacks running in the atis code
originally, but they all lacked routing. Placing everything in the
bridge and following apple's specs makes all the bridges happy.

If anyone would like the files/diffs, please mail to me. The only
file which changes is gw.c. I added a file art.c which contains the
routing/maintainance code.
