Please don't tell that to our marketing people, who have been selling
our SNA products all over the world on Suns (and plenty of other UNIX
boxes) for several years now - they might get heartburn.  There are
several other folks playing the UNIX<->SNA connectivity game as well,
including (*urp*) Sun Themselves.

   IBM TCP/IP is NOT implemented on top of SNA.

I don't know of anyone who's doing that.  Yet.
