I appologize in advance for posting not related to firewalls but you are my last resort.

I looking for clues, advice, warnings, or any information from individuals whos have implemented and route DECnet, TCP/IP, and IPX together.  I currently administer a network spanning to 60 geographic locations with 3000+ users.  We currenlty route only TCP/IP and IPX using Cisco routers.  A new system has surfaced which requires that we route/bridge DECnet into our current envir0nment.  I've heard many warning regarding doing so, particularly with the changinh of MAC addresses by DECnet.

Any advice on management overhead, performance overhead, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Fabian
