I hate to say this, but I think you may have to use another box to hook
the other network up.  I have a similar configuration, and have not
found a way to get a novell server to do tcp/ip routing yet.

You might be able to use a Cayman GatorBox to connect the LocalTalk
to one of the two ethernet, that would provide a pretty good tcp/ip
access for macs.  I don't know how it would effect the current Novell
operation, that would something to check out before spending the 
money for the gatorbox.

Let me know what you come up with in the end, I'm curious.
