Jerry,
	Here at SRI on our floor we have 4 DEC LAN 100's.  They cost
around 8K, and build thier own routing tables.  You don't have to 
renumber any nets, as they don't care.  They just know who is on either
side and will send where ever is appropriate.  They are a store, filter,
and forward device that will pass any protocol or net number if that node
exists on the other side.  We have had these bridges around a year, and
havn't had any trouble so far.
