1835.0. "LAT VS TELNET a comparison?" by UTROP1::CAMPENHOUT_R (Rob (J.R.) van Campenhout) Tue Jan 03 1995 16:05

    Hi,
    
    One of my customers wants to use a Multi-Data-Center (MDF) cluster in 
    order to make his application fault-tolerant. His users login remotely 
    via modems connected to DECserver900TMs.
    Using the Access Server software I can let the user connect up to the
    cluster via either the LAT or the TELNET protocols. before I start an
    extensive RTFM session, can anyone point me to a list of functional
    differences between what the LAT end TELNET protocols offer when using
    the DECserver900TM + Access Server software.
    
    There is no standards issue "requiring" the use of TELNET.
    Functionality is the key issue. Of course if they are functionally
    equivelent it would be nice to also be standards compliant.
    
    Anybody done this comparative study before??
    
    Regards,

    You might want to try the terminal servers notes file for this sort of
    info.  If you want to use Telnet you will have to by IP services for
    the nodes in the cluster so it would be more expensive initially.
