Well, we can get it to work here, and this is our setup. We 
set the CISCO to gateway=1. The nameservers are other machines
on the .1.x network. I am able to see both vaxes (and a huge 
number of other mainframes on the .1.x subnet, including Suns
and IBM 3090s), and can even FTP to/from other PCs on other 
subnets.

       vax (129.79.1.15)--|---vax (129.79.1.2)
                          |
                          |
               | CISCO gateway 129.79.110.254 |
                          |
                          |
                          |- mypc 129.79.110.145
                          |- lots of other PCs (129.79.110.x)
                          
                        ...



Incidentally, we did run into trouble once. One of our 
other subnets seems to be using a packet type thats not
ethernet (type 0) or SLIP (type 6?). Will a new WinQVTNet
be coming out that supports other packet types?
