LAT protocol?

Could someone (or several someones :-) ) please point me to some
documentation, specs, etc. on the LAT protocol over ethernet? I am
thinking of writing a terminal emulator to run on a PC platform,
possibly TSR and background-running, and in this environment I
thought it would be nice to talk LAT directly. I tried to RT
(relevent)FM for my Ultrix node, but couldn't find anything that would
help with the implementation. So:

	1) Is the protocol published somewhere, or is it proprietary?

	2) If proprietary, is there any way I could obtain the specs
anyway (:-) Its worth a try!)

	3) Does anyone have any comments, suggestions or pointers to a
previously written implementation so I might not have to roll-my-own?

Please email me, and I'll summarize later.
Thanks in anticipation,
