Hi Philip

that does the trick - thanks.  I now have my phones connected directly to
the net5501.

One slight wrinkle which I have not yet resolved, is that whilst adding the
three INT lines and the bridge line to user.conf does indeed enable the use
of a hub, it prevents access to eth0, which means I cannot use the web tool,
or even ping the external interface (192.168.0.124) whilst the bridge is
enabled.  If I go in via the serial interface and uncomment those four
settings and reboot, eth0 is available again.

Here is the network config with the bridge enabled:
----------------------------------------------------
coral-pbx ~ # brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br1             8000.000024cb57ed       no              eth1
                                                                             
 eth2

 Do I need to add a route between the interfaces, or is there some Astlinux 
config that I am
missing.

Thanks

Mart
