Are you sure about that?  We use SUN-3's as gateways between class-B
and class-C nets, and they seem to work just fine.  There -is- a restriction
that only one network can be subnetted (can gateway among subnets of
a single net, can gateway also onto class A/B/C non-subnetted nets, but cannot
gateway between subnets of two different nets).  This is true under SUN 3.3
at least.
