- Yes.
- We are running LAT (from SGI) on an SGI box. I'm not directly involved so I
- don't know intimate details, but there were some initial problems. They seem to
- have fixed most of them. We have LAT/TCP-IP terminal servers and running tcp-ip
- they were busying our ethernet with lots of little packets. LAT multiplexes a
- bunch of users keystrokes into the same packet. The downside is that SGI's LAT
- daemon has to look at every packet, but with four processors we have cpu to
- burn.
