Has anyone worked with Vance Morrison's experimental brouter ?  (It's in
pub/pcroute/exp on accuvax.nwu.edu.)  In particular, I'd like to know if
it has been tried with DEC's LAT protocols.

We need to partition our ethernet into two networks, one running mainly
DECnet and the other mainly TCP/IP.   I'm happy with PCroute for most of
the job, but unfortunately our dial-in service (a box full full of modems)
is on the DECnet side and only talks LAT.  So, we need something that will
route TCP/IP between the nets and bridge LAT.  I don't expect the number of
LAT sessions crossing the bridge to be large.  Scrapping the modem box is
not a solution at the moment.  I'm proposing to use an AT with WD8013 cards.

Any comments or observations ?
