OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA, 1990 JAN 15 (NB) -- Gandalf Data has licensed Digital Equipment's LAT network protocol for use with its Starmaster network processor. As a result, DEC users will be able to connect through a Starmaster to other network environments. Gandalf will offer a LAT option for the Starmaster processor this month, at prices ranging from C$7,225 to C$18,050 in Canada, a company spokeswoman said. The option will be available for Starmaster processors supporting 16, 32, 48 or 64 connections. The option will allow LAT users to connect to SNA, Novell and TCP/IP networks over local-area and wide-area networks, according to Gandalf.
