[comp.sys.hp] DECnet and LAT on HP-UX

burzio@mmlai.UUCP (Tony Burzio) (04/03/89)

Since we got our first HP370 computer, I have been searching
for a way to run DECnet and the LAT terminal server driver
software.  I have since found out that a company called KI
Research will have this product by around the end of the
month.  They would have had it sooner, but HP is stone-
walling them by not providing interface documentation.

I think HP should should encourage this company, not discourage
them.  The lack of termserver and DECnet support is one of the
reasons we are probably going with DECstations instead of
HP800 series machines.  HP talks about DEC -> HP migration,
but how can we connect to these when we have a building full
of LAT terminal servers?  I know DEC networking standards
are proprietary, but we can't replace the termservers :-(

This is a plea from a customer.  Could someone knowledgeable
from HP networking services give KI Research a call at
(603) 888-0304.  Thanks.
