I think it is appropriate here and others may be interested. CISCO sells a PROTOCOL TRANSLATOR (CPT) which acts like a virutal terminal server supporting LAT,TCP/IP,X.25 and probably more. It can act as a terminal server (connect to the box's address) as well a provide translation between all the protocols. DECNET (CTERM protocol) is not supported, but LAT is. <> We're using it to access TCP/IP and LAT hosts from X.25, IP hosts from LAT, LAT hosts from IP... works like a champ. Sure beats taking a terminal server and a PAD and tying them togeather! Getting it to work with shared LAT printers took a little work since and officially it isn't supported. If anyone wants info on how to do this let me know.
