[Affiliate]: This is a network that wishes to or is already connected to another network. Each 
network would see the other as being an affiliate of its network.

[Bridged Channel]: A channel consisting of multiple local network channels. For example, if
Hub:BridgeChat from NetworkOne is connected to Hub3:Bridgechat on NetworkTwo, it would be
a bridged channel. This means that all messages sent on either of the local channels would
be routed to the other channel through the bridge.

[Full Bridge]: This is similar to a traditional IMC2 hub. However, many packet types are
inhibited from being sent between one side of the bridge and the other. Also, only
channels that are bridged will pass through the bridge to the other side.

[Relay Bridge]: This is similar to two combined clients. Each network only sees the bridge's
connection in its network connection listing. All packets to the other network have to be
directed specifically toward the bridge's name. For example, a tell between the networks,
using the Continuum, Vulcan, and Blitzkrieg syntax, would be formatted using the following
syntax:
            imcptell <person>:<mud>@<affiliate-name>
