Lmao. Oh yeah. And that! Also, because the device operates with a stack, it
will be perfectly possible to add on other services for the (econet)
network, such as a proxy service for SMTP/http, or a file server etc etc.
This would then be available for all devices on a network. 

So call it what you want, but Bridge is the convenient term that
encapsulates the multi-faceted functionality.
