We have installed a PRONET-80 network supporting IP, DECNET, IPX, and
XNS.  Unfortunately, SNA and NETBIOS are not supported by Proteon.
We have a large administrative 3270 network and are searching for
strategies that will give people using Personal Communications/3270,
and other such packages, on a LAN good service.

Preferably, we would not assign IP addresses to every workstation solely
for tn3270 access nor do we wish to invest heavily in SNA gateway boxes.
I would like other people's ideas on alternatives especially if they
are currently available somewhere.  We have even been kicking around the idea
of 'tunnel' gateways to allow SNA transport via IP.
