Jose, 

You were not specific in stating your intention with such a product.  Meaning
are you just wanted an emulation from this product or you wanted that plus
development libraries.  So, I am going to assume the latter.  Such a 
product is available from Eicon Technologies, Montreal, Canada.  Along with
an X.25 Bridge and Terminal Emulation for all SNA session (3270 and 5250), they
also have an APPC server/client product that permits host-workstation and
emulated peer-peer communication among the workstations themselves.  The
Bridge, Emulator, APPC server (Yes, all of these products can reside in the
same PC as long as you have enough memory) talks with the stations in Netbios
or Novell IPX/SPX protocol.  Communication to the host is via RS-232 or
V.35 interface.

Happy Binding,
