I was just about to post such a query to comp.protocols.ibm, although my
needs are for a (currently) TCP/IP-based or (future) ISO-based network
of (mostly) UNIX-based systems (mostly the SysVR3.x variety). In my dreams
I've seen a box that is a more-or-less transparent gateway between SNA and
TCP/IP (or ISO), and I know of one such box from Mitek, but it requires a lot
of software to be installed on all hosts that should be able to use it, and
as far as I know, that software is only available for VAX/VMS yet. Further-
more, since the network consists of many different machines, we would have
to buy a lot of ports, which would just be much too expensive.
