                      4:     This program is used as a bridge for the OSI transport service.  It
                      5:     is solves internetworking problems--if an application uses the OSI
                      6:     transport service and runs in multiple environments (TP0/X.25,
                      7:     TP4/CLNP, RFC1006/TCP), then the TSB can be used to achieve
                      8:     interworking between instances of the application running in
                      9:     different networks.
                     10: 
                     11:     For example, suppose you have a TCP/IP-based LAN.  Some of the hosts
                     12:     on this LAN run RFC1006 and OSI applications on top of that.  One of
                     13:     the hosts is connected to an X.25 network.  Normally, only the host
                     14:     with the X.25 connection would be able to talk to hosts on the X.25
                     15:     net, and vice-versa.  If the dual-homed host runs a TSB, then hosts
                     16:     on the LAN running RFC1006 can talk to "pure" OSI hosts on the X.25
                     17:     network, and vice-versa.
