It seems that my real problem was a missunderstanding in respect to LAT
devices/terminal servers. I was under the impression that the solaris
side needed to be "LAT" aware. This is not the case. Solaris doesn't
have to know anything about LAT.
Once I configured the service, and the port to no modem control, access
remote, and used a wire (null modem) crossing pins 2 & 3, with 7 strait
through, the connection went fine.
Thanks to all who responded, and to Bruce Taube <Bruce.Taube_at_InfoAve.Net>
for the winning answer.
I've docummented the process of setting up a Emulex 2500 with 1 modem,
1 Sparc (console & tcpip), and a DU4 (lat [allowing access to a TS modem
via a lat tty on the DU box]). If I get a request I can sent a "big
picture" Summary to this list.
Thank you all for your help!!!

Subject: LAT TS as a console server
Followup-To: poster
Howdy again,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I figure that
since DU uses LAT it's my best chance.
I have a LAT Terminal Server (Emulex 2500) which, thanks to this list,
I've gotten to do just about everything needed. The problem I'm running
into now is that one of my boxes is a SparcClassic. I can telnet to it
from within the TS without problem. But what I'd love to do is to connect
ttya to a TS port, and run the box headless... connecting to ttya in the
same manner that I would connect to a LAT terminal. What I'm wondering
is if anyone has done this, or knows of some "freeware" or commercial
product to add LAT to a Solaris 2.6 box.
What I was hoping for was to connect to ttya (port 3) in the same manner
as a modem with a direct connection to a port. Under my current
connection port 3 is setup as a LAT service.
If someone has done this using some other type of LAT/TCPIP TS I'd love to
hear how it was configured... the theory might be the same as my case.
Thank You, I'll post a summary.
P.S.
I did post to sun-managers list, but to no avail. I'm posting here because
DU admins seem to be the only ones really experienced in setting up LAT.
Please direct all "DU4 only" hate mail to /dev/null ;)
