PPP Lan Bridge

[Chris Tusa at Linisys, LLC]

Brian,

Very helpful. Someone on another forum suggsted the possibility of
adjusting routing using either a routed daemon or setting static
routes, but it seems that your method seems quicker.  If I segment off
the PPP side, do I need to change the subnet mask on the rest of the
network as well?

(I should know this!)
