Slow LAT connections
He reports that LAT is "slow", but all other network protocols (DECnet, TCP/IP) all work just fine.
What should I look for, short of capturing the packets on the network? The systems he's testing are all connected via a hub, so it would appear not to be a hardware issue.

Re: Slow LAT connections
we experienced this the other way around when migrating from LAT to telnet.
thing to check is the client software wich does or doesn't try to combine typed characters into a single packet.
It may even wait for a CR typed before sending the data to the host.
In combination with remote echo of typed characters, response may look slow.
(lat typically expects an echo from the host before putting the character on screen)
in this case activating local echo may improve the users experience.

Re: Slow LAT connections
unix-unix unix-vms pc-unix?
can you try if different connections behave differently?
you mention "tru64 client" wich suggests connections outgoing from this server.
is that so?

Re: Slow LAT connections
They've tried 10 Mb/s half, 100 Mb/s full, and Gigabit on the physical interface without any difference -- the emulator hides that, so I didn't expect it to change anything.
I'll have to reserch their network connectivity and what kind of devices they are talking to.
As for "client", I meant the customer.

Re: Slow LAT connections
Had problems only with 10 MBit NICs with alpha servers, but only because they were too slow.
The problem can be both CHARON-AXP or TRU64 related.
What patch kit you have?

Re: Slow LAT connections
When using a 100Mbit network card charon-VAX gives a warning the card can pass more data than the emulator can handle.
our license expired feb. this year so i cannot experiment anymore.
LAT is a protocol that uses short timing.
Do you share the card between the host-os and the emulator? Then communication may improve if you add a second card and dedicate this to charon-axp.
