DSLw or DSLw+ is the way to encapsulate SNA into an IP packet for
transport across the WAN. It will require you to create a peer connection
form one side of the WAN to a router on the otherside. once this is done
the SNA will be encapsulated into IP for transport to the peer partner. In
setting this up you may want to consider having the router at the remote
location establish the peering connection. That will reduce the cycles on
your main networks router, should a WAN connection, DSU, or interface
fail. You will still need bridging turned on, but will not have to bridge
other protocols unless you need them.
