I don't know about MHS to SMTP gateways, but there is an Interlan gateway
(Micom/Interlan) which runs a variation of tcp/ip.   Not only can you use that
connection for mail, but also for terminal emulation, etc.  The interlan board
is essentially a glorified ethernet card with some specifically tcp/ip code.
This comes with tcp/ip software which runs on a Novell server.  My recollection is that it must run as a server, and not as a bridge.
