There are three basic ways to connect DECnet networks and SNA networks:

      - Run SNA or NJE on the DECnet systems (This is what the DECnet/SNA
            Gateway from DEC that you mentioned does)

      - Run DECnet on the SNA system(s) (Interlink's SNS/Gateway products
            are the only ones that do this)

      - Run some "neutral" protocol (such as TCP/IP) on both the DECnet
            and SNA systems (Many vendors to choose from)

The prices vary considerably, depending on the performance and features 
you want.

P.S.  Although I work for Interlink, the best solution for you will be
the one that best matches your (unstated) requirements, and may or may
not be one of my company's products.
