Are host-to-host LAT connections via /dev/ possible?

[Kevin Paul Herbert]

Well, it wasn't this sort of application that I was thinking of when I
designed this mechanism, but generality has its bonuses... For the
next release of cisco Protocol Translators (V8.2), if you have LAT
support, you could create LAT services which automatically issued a
LAT command to connect you to another host. You would set up the
LAT terminal in lcp just as if it was a printer service, and set up
the cisco to speak the master side of the connection to both Ultrix
systems.

This feature was designed to allow one to set up LAT services which will
connect to other systems via TELNET or X.25, but you could do LAT to LAT
as well.
