This would mean that there are mainframes (something running SNALINK)
on the endpoints of the SNA conversation.  I would have RS/6000s on at
least one end of each conversation, with a 3745 attached to a 3090 acting
as a central site.

This would work if there was something like SNALINK for the RS/6000.  Is
there such a thing?
