We tried to do this for XNS and DECnet in a box with a token ring,
using 8.2(1).  When DECnet was enabled, XNS stopped working on the
token ring.  Cisco has not been very responsive to our problem report.

There does seem to be some ambiguity.  The XNS routing command allows a
MAC address to be specified, but it is unclear what the bit order is
when both Ethernet and token ring are present.

I would be interested in hearing from someone who has run XNS, DECnet,
token ring, and Ethernet in one router.
