I chimed in earlier about building a linux bridge to do fast ethernet and 
fddi.  I have since found out that linux' bridging is strictly limited to 
ethernet, and I don't think anyone is working on expanding it.  I have 
since finished my 4-port ethernet linux bridge this evening.

If someone can confirm one of the BSD's will do FDDI <-> ethernet bridging 
I'd love the details.  I found a post on here over a year ago of someone 
saying they were working on it w/ NetBSD
