Does anybody know if the Digital LAT (Local Area Transport) software is available for UNIX? I know it's available under ULTRIX but I'm looking for a pd or commercial version to be used for BSD and/or SUNOS.

If you get it, make sure to ask for the dnimail package with it (they don't tell you they have the update to the c.sources.sun posting until you ask for it). We're using it with a MicroVax 3400 and haven't had any problems at all. The only drawback is that it's pretty limited in the NCP part of it (you don't know how frustrating it is to define a node then not be able to clear or purge it..you're stuck with a bogus entry til you re-start the dniserver). Supposedly 6.1's in beta or alpha testing right now, so there should be a number of improvements. Overall, tho, I can't have any complaints. -- -- Brendan Kehoe | Soon: brendan@cs.widener.edu | temp: brendan@world.std.com Also: brendan@chinet.chi.il.us | Preferred: bkehoe@widener.bitnet
