For the next release of cisco Protocol Translators (V8.2), if you have LAT support, you could create LAT services which automatically issued a LAT command to connect you to another host. You would set up the LAT terminal in lcp just as if it was a printer service, and set up the cisco to speak the master side of the connection to both Ultrix systems. This feature was designed to allow one to set up LAT services which will connect to other systems via TELNET or X.25, but you could do LAT to LAT as well. Kevin
