Hmmn, we are running XNS on a VMS machine just to support Xerox's.  We
have setup a couple Xerox's to run TCP/IP and they talk to our Suns just
fine, and use them as file servers.  If you can get TCP for your Xerox
machines (it may not be standard) this will probably be the quicker and
cheaper way to go.
