I have a Sequent system (S81) connected to our 4381 mainframe through
SNA. We have already purchased the TCP/IP tapes from IBM but are waiting
for a hardware solution to connect the two systems. Initially, someone in
technical marketing (IBM) suggested we use an RT and a token-ring to
ethernet router but the idea never cooked. Now they are suggesting some
type of channel attached device (Ethernet) to connect the two systems.
Any ideas, suggestions and/or comments?

So far it looks like the IBM people we deal with are not completely sure
about any clear solutions.

Any clues would really be appreciated.
