[nsp] Bridging?

Quite interestingly, telnet from the host to the router hangs in a way (the
"Open" message) that seems to indicate that *some* 2-way communication
happens:

alfonso>telnet 10.159.159.201
Trying 10.159.159.201 ... Open

...and then nothing. On the router I see an incoming telnet session:

2621>sh users
    Line       User       Host(s)              Idle       Location
  66 vty 0                idle                 00:00:00 10.159.159.202

So what: only small packets go both ways?...
