I set the port on the DECserver to be dedicated to autoconnect to the SLIP service. I then used SLIP (using TGV's MultiNet TCP/IP package) to talk IP over the pseudo-terminal. It worked well for us, though TGV tells me that this configuration is "not supported" and "can crash VMS" due to problems with the LAT driver. I don't know whether this scheme would work with the Wollongong product. (Does Wolly support SLIP?) Send me mail if you want more info.

What you need is a third party terminal server that handles both TCP and LAT. These are available in the USA for as little as $1500, and the technology can now be said to be mature. -- Jeff Carroll carroll@ssc-vax.boeing.com "...and of their daughters it is written, 'Cursed be he who lies with any manner of animal.'" - Talmud
