     One thing that I forgot to mention yesterday about the DEC Ultrix
LAT system (a real gotcha) is that if you only have Ultrix systems on
your Ethernet, forget it!  You need a VMS or other DECNET-capable
(non-Ultrix) system to download software into the terminal server.
This deficiency is, of course, one of the things DEC is working on.
But don't go running out to buy a terminal server just 'cause you have
Ultrix 1.1, *unless* you have VMS, etc. now.
