I am seeking advice / guidance on the best solution for the following
scenario:

Current Network.
	-4MB Token Ring, with IBM 3174 controllers and a 3174 O1L with
	 the Token Ring option.
	-Terminals & PC attached to 3174 controllers via Coax. The PCs
	 have a 3278/79 card and run 3270 Emulation, enabling them to
	 toggle between PC and Mainframe.

Trial:
	-Novell network running version 3.1, 486 server, using the same
	 Token Ring.
	-The application being trialed is very memory hungry.
	-Expected number of workstations will be approx 16.

The PCs on the Novell Network need access to the Mainframe with out using an
additional link (Coax).  I understand from various suppliers that a Gateway
will provide the best solution, as it uses 106k per workstation.

Is there anything better?

Thanks for any info/comments supplied.
