Proteon does sell IPX for their p4100 and p4200 routers.  It adds about
$1000 to the cost of each router.  Novell is moving toward IP connectivity -
beat on them even if you have to buy IPX in the short term.  We (University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) have the same situation, only we would have
to buy it for a lot of routers as we run 4 different Proteon rings.  IPX
on the backbone is our last resort.
