It may be argued that, if you are forced to use CCL because one component of
your existing SNA network just cannot be "moved" to an IP base, what is the
motivation for bothering with any other such activity in the short term?
In the longer term, as the business evolves, perhaps existing applications
naturally find themselves being run on an IP base so that finally - how sad!
there is no SNA left - those curmudgeonly old system programmers who
insisted on using old-fashioned TSO (and those curmudgeonly old networking
types who insisted on using old-fashioned NetView etc.) have all been put
out to pasture.

Here's the Web site for IBM Communication Controller for Linux:

I agree that, insofar as possible, you should try to migrate what you can
away from the 3745s. CCL is available to support whatever you cannot
realistically convert to use OSA Express and TCP/IP (perhaps with
Enterprise Extender).
I think CCL supports Token-Ring -- please double check me on that -- on
mainframe models that support Token-Ring attachment. However, you may
wish
to migrate the physical network at the same time you migrate from the
3745s, if possible.
