First of all, thanks for a humungous response. I never knew that there were
so many caring people in the world! ;-)

It seems that I have left out some vital pieces of information in my
original mailshot and a lot of you have asked pretty much the same
questions (plus a couple of summary requests - I'll post that when we get
it fixed).

Now, the answers ...

Yes, I was running LATMASTER on 5.4-3 - no problem.
Yes, I can connect to the servers using TSM. Everything looks ok with them
except for the LAT services.
I have the terminal server names in Upper case.
DECNET Phase IV is in operation here.

My supplier has said that he hasn't come across this problem before, but
the obvious thing to do is to grab the lastest version of the software
anyway, which is winging it's way to us at the moment. Most of the servers
have .5MB (AArrgghh! Some of you have said this could/will be a problem)
but I enclose sample output from my latest server ...

I'm still talking to Emulex through my supplier, but if anyone can shed
light on this from Infovax I would appreciate it. My infovax line is still
down - could you reply directly? I promise to summarise later ...

Thanks again for all replies so far.

Brian.
