- Yes there is. ki Research sells a product called openDNA which includes
- DECnet, MOP and LAT protocols. It also contains a software network
- analyzer. The LAT protocol can be purchased seperately from the entire
- product set. Also available is a VT340 emulator.
-
- openDNA is available on many platforms such as IBM RS/6000, Sun4, Sun3,
- HP 9000/{300,400,700,800}, Sequent, Encore, Mips, Ultrix, Modcomp, Harris,
- and many others. The interface is identical on all systems. Included
- with the product are Application Program Interfaces to all the protocol
- stacks.
-
- Our LAT software supports incoming, outgoing, HIC printing outgoing,
- HIC printing incoming, password support on outgoing connections. The
- install process is automatic and requires limitted user input. Users
- may even create their own services and are not limitted to only /bin/login
- as a service. We distribute a lat to telnet gateway as an example of
- an alternate service.
-
- Give us a call for a free trial copy. 1-800-945-4454 or send email
- to support@ki.com.
