That's not exactly true.  I believe the routers will interoperate at
least for IP if you use X.25 as your serial line protocol.  Both 
Proteon and Cisco support X.25 framing now.  It's not a very nice
solution, but it should work. 

Both Proteon and Cisco have committed to implement PPP, and both
companies had active participation in the working group.
