We are currently implementing a scheme similar to the one you propose.  We
have a 3090-300E that is being gatewayed via an IBM 8232 industrial PC.  The
industrial PC is really an AT bus machine modified such that it speaks SNA
on the channel side, and Ethernet via an Ungerman-Bass card on the other
side.  Hanging off of the Ethernet are various VAX, HP and Sun machines.
Serveral applications are currently being developed using LU6.2 to one of
the DEC machines running DECnet.  In installation of FAL-FTP from IBM is
currently also underway, to allow greater access for our 3270 users to general
network services.  Ask your SE about the IBM 8232.
