Token-Ring to Ethernet IP routing fails

Has anyone got PS/2 AIX to perform IP routing between Token-Ring and
Ethernet? I have not been able to and here's my setup:
todd psfile psfile
130.224.5.14 130.224.5.14--130.224.4.14
| | |
| | |
+-+---+-+ |
MAU | Token | (=========================)
+-------+ Ethernet
Since psfile is connected to both Ethernet and Token-Ring networks, it
*should* be able to act as an IP router (as documented in the IBM TCP/IP
User's Guide).
I've setup todd to use psfile as the default IP gw (router). From todd,
I ping 130.224.5.14. Psfile then sent did a RIP broadcast to 130.224.5.63
to find 130.224.4.14! Psfile didn't know that the packet was being sent
to itself. Often this would cause psfile's token-ring interface to stop
accepting rlogin's although it would respond to icmp echo requests.
