4031.0. "Commslot and PCI support?" by STKHLM::IVAN () Thu May 29 1997 12:27

    In 3961.1 is stated that we do not support DECnet and LAT on Mac models
    with Commslot and PCI cards. We have a large international key customer
    in Sweden (Volvo), who urgently needs7 to know:
    
    1. Will Pathworks for Mac support Commslot and PCI card Mac models in
       the future and when?
    
    2. Is there any good workaround to make such a models to run DECnet and
       LAT? 
    
    We will appreciate any suggestion.
    
    Best regards,

4031.1DECnet will never work, Try Appletalk-Lat gateway.VMSNET::J_FILLERSFri May 30 1997 14:3914
    It is my understanding that DECnet will never work with PCI ethernet
    cards or Commslot cards. Thursby has no plans to make it work either
    since they will eventually retire TSSNET(DECnet).
    
    LAT may be possilbe using the Appletalk-Lat Gateway. This requires
    atleast one Mac to run the Gateway software itself then you select the
    Appletalk-Lat tool instead of Lat. This should work
    with Commslot and PCI ethernet cards.
    
    I know of no workaround for DECnet.
