I have no reason to suspect it shouldn't work. But only testing will tell. And the same here - you might need to tweak a thing or two in the source.

Change network settings and enter uplink details in bridge.conf. bridge runs automatically in a screen launched by init (respawned if killed, of course). Instant HECnet-in-a-box :)
