Guy has this running with a 3174 and ethernet interface.
Jay has it working with token ring.
I have all the parts to put this together, just no time to work on it right now.

I should look for more details. It sounds like some 3174's, with
proper firmware, can actually function in both directions.
Coax connected 3270 terminals using the 3174 as a gateway to connect
to something across the network (Token Ring or maybe Ethernet) via
telnet. I
suspect this is what a number of Hercules systems are doing.
