Jay,

Extensive is an understatement! I must have looked at the
first 100 or so hits for BRCFG under google/linux and
couldn't find it.  Thanks for being so persistent! 

Just to let everyone know, once I enabled bridging in
the kernel and configured it with the tool, everything
worked just fine! I didn't even need to use ipchains
since I'm on a closed network and didn't need any security.
In fact I was able to re-number all of my ip addresses so
that they were all on the same subnet:

box-1: 10.2.1.8
box-2/eth1: 10.2.1.37
box-2/eth0: 10.2.1.36
box-3: 10.2.1.21

Here are the configuration commands that I used for bridging
on box-2:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 promisc
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 promisc
/sbin/brcfg -ena

Thanks again to all who responded.....

George
