 You should look at boxes made by Spider. They specialise in this kind of 
product. Some literature just arrived on my desk this morning about a TCP/IP
router via X.25. They also do X.25 WAN to X.25 LAN via ether boxes and all
kinds of other goodies.

They have an office in Burlington Mass. (617 270 3510).
We have an X.25/Ether gateway here and it acts as the X.25 gate for 6 or 
so main frames. Seems to work OK.
