Both CISCO and ANNEX support "rlogin" as well and it works just as nice
(well maybe even better) than it does under BSD UNIX.  Nearly all our
UNIX terminals these days go through the terminal servers and we also
use them for other machines such as VMS and IBM.  The major problem
with LAT, other than the fact that it only works with DEC computers,
is that it will not go through any sort of Router (even a DEC one).
This greatly diminishes its usefulness in a large network environment
like ours.

If you must have LAT, I here now there is a company called Xyplex
that makes LAT servers that they've also hacked TCP into.
