## Things that used to be caveats
* Previously it would listen for all EtherTalk traffic, regardless of destination.
Now it doesn't do that, which should help it co-exist with other routers on
the same host.
* You can configure an alternate Ethernet address if you are reusing the same
network interface for multiple different EtherTalk software.
* In addition to the configured EtherTalk network and zone, it now learns routes
and zones from other EtherTalk routers, and should share them across AURP.
* There's a status server. Browse to http://\[your router\]:9459/status to see
information about the state of jrouter.

* ✅ Fixed ~~It currently listens to all AppleTalk and AARP traffic on the EtherTalk port.
This might not play well with other AppleTalk software, e.g. netatalk.~~
* ✅ Fixed ~~Also it currently uses the default Ethernet address for the interface for
sending packets. I plan to add the ability to configure a different address.~~
You can now configure a different Ethernet address for the EtherTalk
interface. I haven't tested it with netatalk or tashrouter on the same
host, but I think using a distinct Ethernet address would help them coexist.
* It currently ignores other AppleTalk routers on the EtherTalk side. This is
the next main thing to implement to make it work with e.g. netatalk.
