We use Bridge Communications, Inc. products.  They have two SNA
gateway products. One is a 3270 card with BNC connections for
use with 'cheap ethernet', the other is a CS/1-SNA product that
connects to ethernet.  The latter is what we use and therefore
have the most experience with.  The CS/1-SNA was recently upgraded
with 68020 processor chips, works with XNS or TCP/IP, and can
support up to 48 virtual sessions.  For more information, call
their home office in California.
 2081 Stierlin Road, Mountain View, CA. 94043
 (415) 969-4400

 Other sources that have SNA products are:
 MITEK Systems
 One Northfield Plaza
 Suite 300
 Northfield, IL 60093

 You never stated if you are using fiber or ethernet LAN. The above
 have ethernet compatibility but, you will have to inquire about
 fiber.
 Hope this helps!
