You know, I really would like to see an answer to this. I wound up arguing
with an instructor at a Pacific Bell class about bridging, shouting that
people don't BRIDGE across WANs, they ROUTE. He insisted that lots of
people do it. Him being the 20-year telco veteran, and me being the
knucklehead dumb enough to take a frame relay (er, 'FastPacket (TM)')
marketing class, I sat down and shut up.

But who does this? And why? I just don't get bridging over ISDN or other
slower-than-wire speeds. Feedback on this topic would be appreciated.
