	I have one of these boxes too, and I started a search similar
to yours, until someone pointed out the fact that the boxes speak DEC
LAT on the ethernet port, so unless you have client or translator box
that also speaks LAT, even getting it running isn't actually very
productive. I've also heard it said that some Cisco boxes can do
conversion of LAT or whatever the relevant protocol on top of LAT is
to TCP, so if you have a handy Cisco, the DECserver might be worth
more than a doorstop.
