- It is possible, but not supported. If the LAT device goes away,
- you could get a system crash. I believe that some of our customers have
- gotten it to work by setting the terminal /PASTHRU/NOTTSYNC/NOHOSTSYNC
- prior to starting SLIP on the device.

- Can you open a service call with SERVICE@TGV.COM and provide us
- with the exact text of the error you get?
