SAP Filtering - Again (AREV Specific)

We have a user in a remote location that needs access to our ARev system. They are on a T-1 (at least) link back to our office, but our network guys do not have IPX enabled on this link. After much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, they have agreed to turn up IPX on the link, but they want to filter the majority of the SAP traffic so that it doesn't degrade the performance of the link.
After searching the list, it appears that the NLM uses an SAP address of 0x5B8, and that as long as this SAP broadcast is allowed through, everything will be copasetic. Is this still the correct SAP address?
Our setup is a Novell 5 server running the appropriate version of the NLM.
