Now that issue #154 has been fixed, when Basilisk II is configured to
use "tun" for networking, the generated tunN interface can be bridged,
enabling AppleTalk frames to be forwarded without the Linux host
needing to be able to route AppleTalk.
This commit updates the README to discuss this possibility and briefly
outline how it can be achieved. A number of spelling corrections and
other minor clarifications are made in the same area.
Sorry I was lazy and didn't actually create a tunconfig script for this :) I feel like what I'd really want to do is work out how to get NetworkManager to manage the interface for me, but I suspect that to do that it'd need to get the same MAC address every time, so instead of having an automatically-generated MAC address I'd need a configuration file setting for the MAC address. And if I was doing all that work, I'd probably need to look at PR #64 which I haven't fully read but I know it's doing other things in this area. That all sounds like too much work, though, so probably if I start running this more I'll just make another tunconfig script and file a PR for that!
