I know a group that is using it on an AGS+, from what you've said above Cisco
is right, but it does work. Now the explaination, you load the ATG on 1 router
using its serial port as 1 set of addrs and the ether as the other. The router
running on the other end of the connection is just running as a DECnet router.
Unfortunately I don't remember if the router not running ATG is a local router
or not, sorry.
