So far I haven't had any problems. The backbone is 8137 and because of the new cisco ROMs you can have an 802.3 network attached to it that people running 8137 can still see. Before we had a single IPX network with separate IP networks (i.e. we were routing IP but not IPX). Now we are routing both. Too bad about your Morrison PC Routers or it could work great.
