I don't know what Microware's protocols look like, but I strongly
suspect that they have their own ethernet type code (rather than being
built upon a network-layer protocol such as IP).  As such, you can only
bridge NFM, not route it.  If your cisco does not support bridging,
you're probably out of luck.
