DECnet-DOS is one choice. Meridian Data Products sells SuperLAT.
The latter works with MSK v3.14 and later. The LAT protocol is proprietary
to DIGITAL and thus MS-DOS Kermit cannot have a LAT protocol stack in its
source code.
I need to emphasize a point about LAT. It is fragile under load
and often breaks. It's just not designed to withstand intense prolonged
file transfers, nor was it intended for that activity. Also, as you know,
LAT is not a routable protocol.
