This time I believe that I will post an understandable message. Well here
goes nothing. I am a graduate student working on my master's degree in
computer science. Since I plan on writing a gateway I am interested in
the current thinking on this subject. Specifically what research is being
done to determine what is the best method for writing a gateway. I am
also interested in general information on the writing of a gateway. Thank
you for your prompt attention.

Hoppe I don't know about *writing* a gateway, but I have some experience in *building* a gateway. We plan to present a paper at ICC in June on a Ethernet/Fasnet (Local Area Network/Metropolitan Area Network) gateway which we have designed, and is presently being built. Our thinking is that where speed is of the essence, it is important to bring as much intellegence as possible to the lower levels of hardware and protocol. If you're interested, I could go into a little more detail. -Mark Garrett Bell Communications Research
