The fusion of IBM's token-ring networks to existing SNA networks is perhaps the single most important event in the history of SNA. However, while powerful in tandem, token-ring and SNA networks are essentially incompatible. Thus, LAN gateways, the sometimes mysterious entities linking the two networks, have been thrust into the limelight of corporate networking strategy. This is a guide to the many approaches to establishing connectivity between IBM's token-ring and SNA networks. It presents a c...
