You might want to take a look at Ki Research's DEKnet and LAT products.
Digital Review gave their DEKnet a better rating than DEC's own product.
We use their LAT product and find it useful in connecting to our Suns from
LAT terminal servers and for accessing LAT-based printers from Unix.
We've found a number of bugs in their LAT implementation but they seem
eager to address them.
