Looking through /sys directory on Ultrix machine at Portland Usenix I saw some lat?.o files. I asked if this meant that DEC was going to support the LAT under Ultrix, and got a "no comment" response. Hopefully there are others who know more about this, and would be willing to share their information. -- Kurt Haserodt ..!ihnp4!wucs!kurt Box 1045 Washington University (314)-889-6160 St. Louis, MO 63130 USA

If you are currently running version 1.0, you'll have to upgrade if you want LAT support. If you are running version 1.1 and it is not working, send me mail directly, and I'll try and help you correct the problem. Let me know if I can be of anymore help, Andrew J.

I recall some discussion a couple of months ago about a new DEC terminal server on Ethernet type device that uses a protocol callet LAT or some such. I'm now in a position of wiring a large facility (25K square feet) with Ethernet, and am looking for a terminal server as an alternative to a dataswitch (Gandalf PACX or equivalent). Does anyone out there have one of these DEC boxes working with 4.2? I need it to function with 4.2 and with DECNET machines (although not at the same time necessarily). Any hints? -JCP-
