      Watch the ones that are built onto the motherboard.  I have two
that aren't capable of running at any real speed.  A third board I didn't 
even bother to check, I just dropped a COM board in and moved on.

      LAT shouldn't have any trouble running 19.2, we use it on
ethernet.  I suspect the problem is in tunneling TCP/IP or the VAX itself.  
We've upgraded our system to use Shivas, but with a little work we could have 
done it with Multinet or UCX through the VAX.  The drawback there is that it 
adds to the work of an already overloaded VAX cluster. Just tell them to get 
a new hub with some PPP capable servers for their modems.
