becomes a problem.


The upside of this solution is that it's relatively portable though - I'd love to have a DECNET stack on my OS X boxes, for example (in fact as mentioned before latd DOES work on OS X as it's kinda implemented in a similar way)..

Which reminds me that I should work on/write a replacement lat suite, since the version out there today have some bugs. I've tried looking at it, but I'm just not into C++, or able to penetrate the code enough.
Anyway, using the lat client program supplied, connecting to RSX, it seems like it breaks the lat protocol sometimes. And unfortunately, the RSX LAT server have a bug triggered by the free lat implementation, in which the session gets lost, and as a result some memory is lost in RSX. This eventually cause the system to crash because no more free memory is available in DECnet.
