Hi,

I know it is just a soft connection to SimH but I hope there are some VMS
expert here and maybe someone is using/used Lantronix old terminal
server(s). Its type is ETS8P.
This term. server supports LAT protocol but needs a license string.
I wrote to Lantronix support and I got the answer "This product is very old
and not supported any more." Of course I don't want to buy a new hardware
but I'd like to use with my VMS infrastructure using LAT.

I want some tips enabling LAT protocol on my ETS hardware.

TIA,
Ruzsi

Hello Ruzsi.

I use a Lantronix ETS8PS terminal server on my local network because
it's useful for LAT, Telnet to LAT gateway, and giving access to my
real VAX and Alpha consoles (which I define as LAT services).

If you search the strings in the ETSP.SYS firmware image file for "LAT
license" you will find the clear-text password for using on the DEFINE
PROTOCOL LAT LICENSE command ;)

Also, if you haven't already done so, I'd recommend upgrading the
firmware from https://www.lantronix.com/resources/discontinued-products/
or via anonymous ftp from ftp.lantronix.com.

I added stub pages for these terminal servers to the terminals wiki:
