Right on the first sentence, Not exactly on the second: A bridge does 
not answer ARPs (unless directed to it's own IP - which is not 
relevant). Instead it bridges the ARPs that other IP terminal send.

(*) Evgeny, your mailer seems to send your name in Logical Hebrew, which 
shows up on my Netscape6 as Yngvi (in backwards Hebrew). This is most 
hilarious, as any Science Fiction nut (such as myself) will be able to 
tell you. I would consider switching to using an English "name"...
