That only allows AUN-compatible clients on the Econet side to talk to the 
ethernet side, so you can't get a beeb to logon to a Level 4 fileserver 
that's across the gateway. (but you can logon to a file server that is the 
gateway).

!Gateway just routes IP packets from the IP-over-Econet to 
IP-over-Ethernet sides; I don't think there has ever been a true bridge 
that would let you talk from a beeb on the econet side to an archimedes or 
PC on the ethernet side.
