I guess I could make one.  It wouldn't get a good speed.  The only real
application for it would be connecting real I2C devices.  More than about 4
calculators bridged and it would slow.

I've got the beta software done.  It waits for I2C data sent to it, and
then finds the dest calc, sends the byte, then starts over.  I think I'm
going to add some type of timeout since the I2C is prone to timeout 1/2 the
time.
