LAT runs fine over the (wired) Ethernet port.
LAT doesn’t run over wireless Ethernet without major help from the wireless 
hardware or unless it’s tunneled over IP.

Please check out my post on running a VAXcluster on Raspberry Pi's

There are a couple things that I find interesting about this, and I find myself 
wondering, what real VAXen does the level of performance you’re getting with 
the various RPi models, compare to?
The simh VAX gets about 4 VUPs on the 1GHz Raspberry Pi 2 and the Pi Zero, and 
about 3 VUPs on the older original Raspberry Pi which runs at about 600MHz.

But is is 5V, 1A compared to the original VAX-11/780 at 240V 3-phase, 32A. Let 
alone the physical dimensions...

It looks like a good replacement for my VAXstation 3100, but not such a great 
one for the VAXstation 4000/60.  OTOH, the reduced power, size, and noise make 
this an attractive idea.  I’ve been meaning to try the original for emulating a 
PDP-10 and PDP-11 for a couple years, just never have the spare time.

Any issues with LAT?  With something like this, I’d just as soon use my 
DECserver 90 TL and a VT420. :-)  I’ve never actually gotten VAX/VMS fully 
running on SIMH.  I think I tried it out as far as starting an install on my 
Mac a few years ago.
