As long as the SAA gateway has its t/r card connected to the same ring at the
 t/r card of the IBM then this will be no problem and no bridge is required.
Put an ethernet card in the SAA gateway and connect it to the same segment as
the rest of your LAN.  Bind IPX to the ethernet card and SNA to the t/r card
(NWSAA does this automatically).
