In Bridging section:

- Use of hostid tags and manual page entities where needed
- s/IP Masquerading (NAT)/network address translation (NAT)/ which is
  more consistent with all our docs and the applications names
- Some tags fixes
- IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT is not anymore an undocumented option, so
  fix a comment

In ISDN section:

- expand "sync/TA" --> synchronous card/TA
- s/I/We
- s/page/section/
- Some punctuation and case fixes
- Remove an useless ironic comment about Windows 95 in the ascii art
  version of a diagram.
