Just to add to this...

I have a Cisco 1841 on the edge with a HWIC for handling the DSL side of 
things.  It of course natively routed DECnet so all my tunnels come into it.

However, prior to this I used to have a Cisco 857 on the edge and a 
DECbrouter 90T2a (really a Cisco router for a DEChub 90) behind it.  The 
Cisco 857 will not do DECnet as it is one of the little IP-only "SOHO" 
routers.  That did not prevent the DECbrouter from establishing tunnels 
through the NAT provided by the 857 though.

As Brian says, feel free to ask more questions, there are plenty Cisco 
nerds here :-)
