It is not that complicated to setup a work station as a ipx router is fairly 
simple.  However it will only route ipx.  Also in most high volume networks 
the use of at least a 386 is necessary.  The server system is a better 
solution.  You can technically use your existing 4.x server software to setup 
a second server that is used as a router without getting into license 
restrictions.  I don't however know if this is legal or not.  Anyone from 
Novell want to comment?
