Whilst not what you are looking for some one has been working on supporting CISCO SDLC encapsulation in Hercules.
So this allows real 3270's to connect to Hercules from a 3174 with only SDLC ports by going via a CISCO router with an SDLC port.
I wonder if you could do the reverse. So go TN5250 into a Cisco and then emerge as SDLC....
