I don't know about *writing* a gateway, but I have some experience
in *building* a gateway.  We plan to present a paper at ICC in June
on a Ethernet/Fasnet (Local Area Network/Metropolitan Area Network)
gateway which we have designed, and is presently being built.  Our
thinking is that where speed is of the essence, it is important to
bring as much intellegence as possible to the lower levels of hardware
and protocol.  If you're interested, I could go into a little more
detail.
