We put up some software called LAT-11 on an old 11/34 we have here.
It is LAT-11 Server Version 1.3 protocol version 5.0
Turns it into a 64 line terminal server.
It was supported by DEC but was dropped a couple of years ago.  Up to
Ultrix 3.0 all was well. On later versions including 4.0 we get 
LAT errors and the session terminated.
on 3.0  no errors
on 3.1D error is LAT - Node Protocol Error - credits
on 4.0  error is LAT - Node stopped circuit

This is confusing when it appears LAT has not been revised.
3.0 lcp -d
LAT version: 5  eco: 1   LAT Protocol is active
>3.0 lcp -d
LAT version: 5  eco: 1   LAT Protocol is active

We can still connect to VAX'es running up to VMS V5.3.  
If anybody out ther is still using this successfully we'd like to
know.  We have two other 11's we were going to convert.  
Gives us 3*64 ethernet lines saving A$60000 odd.
