Nobody else answered, so I'll answer on my own!

No, there's nothing complicated about basic ISO routing. Basically ISIS and
ISO-IGRP addresses look similar but ISO-IGRP allows for a larger 'area'
field. The NSAP addresses aren't a world away from ATM NSAP addresses.

I'm now configuring a DEC4-DEC5 conversion network, carried over an ISIS
cloud to another DEC5-DEC4 conversion. Quite fun stuff really.

thanks!
