[ Get a look at this short O(n) DES decryption algorith


	   In the October '87 issue of Dr. Dobb's, a project is
	presented to allow AppleTalk to be used over RS-232 lines.
	This involved replacing the Appletalk Link Access Protocol
	with an asynchonous protocol to handle the link level.

	   As suggested in the article, a very useful extension on
	this project would be a "bridge" to route packets between a
	machine on the other end of the RS-232 and the rest of an
	Appletalk network.

	   I would like to know what others have attempted in the
	way of using a Mac' as such a router.  To me, this is a
	project worth exploring, and I will welcome discussion via
	email on seeing this idea to life.
