Untrue. SANA-II supported multiple protocols per interface from the start.
The problem with Envoy and AmiTCP/AS225 is that they're the *same*
protocol (IP). This is orthogonal to the problem with Enlan. The problem
with Enlan, as someone else described, is that it is based on DECNET
(aka drecnet) which wants to fiddle with the ethernet address. The
problems of running DECNET and TCP/IP on the same interface is not
specific to SANA-II, or even the Amiga in general. Mixed VMS and Unix
shops have long had to deal with it. I'm sure Commodore can be blamed
for many things, but this is not one of them.
