Yes, you can do this but I'm not sure of the details. We have equipment
from another vendor in our network that does exactly what you're talking
about. It's an NT server, but it's speaks SDLC on a serial port and it
exists as a PU on our SNA network. The router port is configured in the
same way we would configure it for IBM terminal controllers or our Automated
Teller Machines.
At this point, though, IP is irrelevant so I don't know if this answers your
question or not. In this case, you wouldn't really be converting it, per
say, just adding different functionality. It's like asking "Can I convert
my BMW into a waffle iron?" Well...yes, but it will no longer resemble a
car. :-)
I hope that helps. I wish I had some more details to give you but I really
don't know that much about SNA.
