This is incorrect. If you have a DEC server 200, you are stuck with LAT only. If you have 700's, or 900TM's, you can get LAT, SLIp, PPP, and a couple others, but no DECnet. > I don't think anyone is planning on reverse engineering LAT and then > releasing it publically any time soon; DECNet would be a nice thing > for BSD to have, though... I think Matt Thomas one time rambled about maybe doing this. I have no idea how complex it would be. Implementing, and actually having to use NCP gives me the cold sweats
