A switch uses MAC addresses for ascertaining where to forward
a message. It is unaware of IP addresses, so it cannot connect

Yup. That's bridging

many don't really know the differences or even appreciate that
there are differences

When I was a network admin a switch _was_ a bridge (a multi-port one).
Is the word used differently now?

I have 2 PCs, both have a Ethernet card, both running
Linux. Now I connect them with a line, how to test the
connection? Is there Linux command that send a message
thru eth0 interface to display on the other PC? Thanks!
