  Other things one can do :

     the two networks have in common.

The others, as you've observed are reasonably fixable problems, given
inclination, but this last problem is non-trivial to fix, because of
the physically distributed nature of some interconnects.

I'm not yet certain as to whether ATM replacement of FDDI is the right 
solution to this problem.
