Someone must have solved this problem-- LAT Terminal Servers are great on a Broadcasting Ethernet cause you can get non-DECnet'able machines on the network (connect em up via one or more of the Servers terminal ports and establish a Service). Now, any node that can speak LAT, a Vax host, another LAT Terminal Server etc., can establish a connection to that declared Service. Great for Print Services, non-DECnet hosts etc. My Question-- How do you, or how can you "Trace" LAT connections? I know that from a VAX host running LAT, you can get the Server and Port that associated with a particular LTAx device in a least a couple of different ways, BUT, how can one "Trace" a connection from some arbitrary Server to another Server to learn which Ports/Services/Users are involved?? This would appear to be a Security nuisance, especially on a large LAN with a hundred LAT devices or so. Anybody have a solution?? ------
