[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Dec's LAT protocol

kluger@roundhouse.UUCP (Larry Kluger Sun Europe) (05/09/87)

Speaking of LAT, has anyone seen a spec for it?

(I'm only interested in public documentation. A dec part number,
article reference/citation, etc.)

I've heard conflicting rumours that LAT is and is not a secret.

Thanks,

ps. There is sunshine in England today! This is news!!

I asked this one a few months ago in comp.dcom.lans.  The answer, from
people at DEC, was that LAT is company confidential and there is no
public spec for it.  A stupid, shortsighted policy, but that's DEC for you.
