Help..
One person tells me one thing and another something else. Heres the
situation. I would like to place some Decserver 200s on a LAN located
at a site about 50 miles away. That sites LAN will be connected to ours
via a T-1 link. The devices that will connect the LANs most likely will
be the Bridge Communications IB/3. Will the LAT protocol work over the
WAN arrangement. DEC's release notes seem to indicate they won't, but I
don't believe everything they say. Has anybody out there made this arrangement
work? Please let me know by e-mail. I know I could use TCP/IP terminal servers
and that may be an option, but since we have a Vaxcluster I like the semi-
load balancing you get with the LAT servers.
Thanks,
