Can anyone point me in the direction of a good description of the LAT protocol? Is this a DEC proprietary protocol that they will not release to the public? I read the description of the LAT architecture in the _LAT Network Concepts_ manual, but this is far too general for my needs. I want to see data structures and constants. My eventual goal is to implement a prototype LAT service daemon on a Sun workstation, so that the workstation is accessable from any terminal server on the ethernet. I have no problem with acquiring the packets from the ethernet, or writing appropriate packets back out, but I need to know the specific formats of the packets.

I could did up the article if you want, but you might want to talk to your DEC rep about it. In any case, I don't think its a trivial cost (a few thou I think, maybe 10K for LAT/Host.) -- Art Stine Sr Network Engineer Clarkson U ABStine@CLVMS.Clarkson.Edu
