a) Use the copy command of ultrix (dcp) to copy a file on the LAT device. 
Our lasers are attached to LAT in a spooled terminal queue, so 
% dcp file node::ltaxxx: 
will do the job. (You need to have a default decnet account which does have 
quota on the spooling disk.) 

b) I set up a simple c routine a la tell.com which is using decnet as 
process to interact remotely. Drawback: slow , and a security breach. 

c) look for a lpd port. If you found one, let me know. I'm very much 
interested!
