I'm looking for a product, which translate LAT to Telnet. Please do not propose just milking-machines approaches, since this is not transparent to the users. Hans W. Barz, R.1032.3.34, CIBA-GEIGY, 4002 Basel, Switzerland mail: whwb@cgch.uucp phone: +41/61/6974520 fax: +41/61/6973288

Well if you have any ULTRIX V3.0 or later systems around take a look at /usr/etc/lattelnet. It's documented in the "Ethernet Communications Servers" manual (chapter 5 for V3.0 documentation). /--------------------------------------------------------------\ |Jeff Michaud michaud@decwrl.dec.com michaud@decvax.dec.com| |DECnet-ULTRIX #include <standard/disclaimer.h> | \--------------------------------------------------------------/

Two companies I know of make LAT-Telnet "gateway" modules for their terminal servers. I'm not sure of the details on how they do it so I'm not sure of how user transparent they are. But it won't hurt to find out. Datability Software Systems, Inc. 322 Eighth Avenue New York, NY 10001 (212) 807-7800 Ron Howard, Pres.

Since I do not know your application this may not be appropriate but why
not just use a multi-protocol terminal server(we make such an animal
by the way :-)). zvLb#:AVoIt can be made pretty transparent.

But there are a lot of single-protocol boxes out there now. A 'Gateway' needs to address making better use of existing hardware. Datability's VISTA Product line includes a Network Protocol Translator (NPT) card that allows any LAT terminal server (DECserver 200, etc) to communicate with TCP/IP Telnet based hosts. (Of course it works TELNET -> LAT also). (The above comments are my own, although I work for Databilitly.) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard L.
