If someone does have instructions for using RTEMS as a router, bridge,
etc, etc.  Please pass them along so we can merge them into the 
networking manual.

I do know of one user who merged IPSEC capabilities from OpenBSD and
built a secure router.  As I recall, the router portion was simply
a matter of properly configuring multiple network interfaces.
Someone else will have to comment on filtering more than that.
