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"...
