Before I invested a lot of time in doing this, I thought I'd throw it
out to the net.gods for any tips, flames, etc. that might be relevant:

We'd like to turn an unused 386/20 (maybe 25) into a network bridge
gating between a heavily loaded thick-net connection and our
semi-lightly-loaded thinnet network.  We would be running the latest,
greatest SCO Unix.  The machine would do nothing but run the network
software (TCP/IP, SMTP, NNTP) and occasionally (once and hour) dial
out on a TB 2500.

The machine would be configured as:

	386/20 ISA-bus with 6MB ram
	~200MB disk
	2 x Western Digital or 3com Ethertalk ethernet boards
	Mono monitor

I'd sure like to hear from anyone who is running this kind of setup,
especially if it doesn't work.  All help greatly appreciated!
