[comp.dcom.lans] PC TO DEC VIA LAT

bobkil@ibmpcug.co.uk (Bob Kilgore) (04/11/90)

Another general question from the ex-manager of Excelan
(Europe) prior to the Novell buy-out, now unemployed.

There may be a software package in the U.S. that will
connect a PC to a DEC host via LAT.  The name of the package
is:  COMunity.   Has anyone heard of it and is there a phone
number we can call to get some information?  This package
runs on the Excelan card.  Any information about other
drivers would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

BOB

We bought a multi-protocol software stack from Hughes LAN Systems
(formerly Sytek) that runs on the WD8003 and supports LAT, Novell, and
TCP/IP.  It seems to work fine.  This package lets us a PC talk to
essentially every major system on campus.
