I guess that is not bridging and I think I'm not supposed to read the 
bridging chapter of handbook. It's not bridging because PLIP is not 
ethernet (has no MAC address), the 'oldbook' host has default gateway set 
to the other end, this envolve routing, not just bridging. At least that's 
what I can understand.
