That's a really good question. When I got learned in networking stuff, I
was taught that without a layer 3 or network identifier in the protocol, it
CANNOT be routed because the router has no network id to send the packet to.

If Shiva "routes" NetBEUI, I'd like to see a decode of the packet.

By the way, on the PM-11's...is it a good picture of you, or just some
photo you got out of your new wallet? Is it airbrushed onto the cover or
just some Polaroid glued to it?

These are questions we REALLY need the answers to.

Better lay off the Pepsi, I'm starting to get squirrelly!!
