781.0. "Multia and LAT (note 349)" by NNTPD::"Andy.Cartwright@lzo.mts.dec.com" (Andy Cartwright) Tue Jun 03 1997 09:52

Was there ever a resolution or workaround to this problem - one
of my customers has recently raised this with me i.e. he cannot 
connect to a service, only to a node name via LAT on a Multia.

He was sold the Multias as a replacement for VXT2000s, and is very
annoyed that he doesn't get the same functionality. CSC (UK) have
told him it's a bug that won'r be fixed, but note 349 suggests there
may be a way round it. Can anyone help? 

Dialogue between customer and CSC below.....

Subj:   X-windows access to LAT hosts

  System NWSRT1 is a VAX 6000-430 running VMS V5.5-2.
  (HW Ver=00A10000000000000B000006, SID=0B000006, XSID=02300101, DSN=V1.2)

I am trying to create an X-session on a LAT host from a Multia desktop.  It
only works if I use the LAT service name that is the same as the host name. 
It
does not work for other LAT service names offered by the host.  KEAterm on the
same Multia desktop connects successfully to any LAT service name.

Colin,
     This restriction is documented in section 4.3.1. of the Multia Enterprise
Client Version 3.2 Release Notes. I have raised this with the engineering
group
and there are no plans to remove this restriction in the future.

Regards,
