Try buying protocol independant bridges (Data Link Bridges).  We have a
similar problem here with our Ungermann/Bass terminal servers, they
won't boot across their routers (which they call remote bridges).  At
first, we bought boot nodes for each bridged network -- this too can be
a maintenance problem.  Now we have replaced several of our U/B routers
with VitaLink TranLAN Bridges and we can boot across the bridge to the
remote sites.  Just a suggestion.  (By the way I don't recommend the
VitaLink unless you have multiple line to the same site, or you have
alot of money to throw around, at $17k each they are not cheap.)
