// Unfortunately there's no chance of moving to Eth. II.

You don't need to move to ethernet II.  You just need to bind
ethernet_ii to the server's interface, and bind *another*
IPX network to it.

I've always ran netware with 2 or even 3 frames for IPX in each
interface, and there's no problem in doing that.  The only problem
is that, since each bind is a different "network", each broadcast
will be sent once for each bind.  Also, traffic from a host through
the router should go first to the server to be converted from 802.3
to ethernet_ii.  In this sense, the server is also acting as a
router between the frametypes.
