I think the answer is much simpler. Add "multiring ip" to the Token
Ring interfaces on the end routers (not the one in the middle) and
everything should work just fine.

A common misconception is that SRB works only with SNA and NetBIOS;
SRB works with all routed protocols! I believe Cisco's DLSw (DLSw+)
works with all as well, by the way.

Cheers,
Neill
