DLSW questions

When configuring DLSW+ for transparent bridging between two ethernet sites,
will it only bridge certain types of frame ?

I've had it working in the my lab with Netbeui and IP (no mainframes
available for SNA <ggg>), but I was trying to setup to test with LAT. My
config is DLSW between ethernets on R1 and R2.

I've tried enabling LAT on the ethernet interfaces on R1 and R2, and also
advertising services. I've also connected router R3 to the same ethernet
segment as R2 and advertised LAT out of that. The service is seen on R2, but
not bridged across to R1.

My other question is regarding how it handles spanning tree when there are
two routers running transparent bridging across DLSW. When I do a show span
on both routers, each one thinks it is the root of the spanning tree.The
DLSW ports show BDPUs sent, but none received.
