token to ether bridges are pretty common...if you just route ip traffic
headed for the ether machine(s) over the bridge then it is unlikely that you'll
loose to many packets...  also, all networking protocols are designed around
lans that drop packets anyway, so instead of buffer it just drops, which forces
resends...its not as evil as it sounds...
