You might take a look at SNA server.

Chris, This is truly a Microsoft issue.  They didn't write the "server" side
of the DRDA interface.  Not Invented Here is the phrase that comes to mind.
The last time I looked, neither Oracle nor SQL Server  had an ARD written
for them.  Oracle has some bridge that you can buy, but I don't think SQL
Server does.

The problem is that DRDA is IBMs idea on how to connect disparate systems,
but apparently nobody but IBM supports it.  Call your SQL Server sales rep.
and complain.
