I would appreciate any help any of you can give me on the following
questions. First the background information.  The machine that is 
involved is a DEC-3100s running ultrix 2.1 (rev 14) with a DEC
server 200 (LAT).

1.  UUCP doesn't seem to be able to call out over the LAT.  I believe that
    the LAT and lcp commands have been set up correctly.  I have been able
    to use kermit to talk to the modem hooked up to the LAT and call out.
    uucico doesn't seem to see the humor of using a LAT, and gets confused.
    I have called DEC about this problem, and the person I talked to thought
    that there was a patch, but he hasn't gotten back to me.  (There is a 
    good chance that he called while I was out of my office, but it has
    been a week, so I thought I would post.)

2.  I can't get CAP (Columbia AppleTalk Package for UNIX) to work on the
    above system.  However, I was able to get it to work just fine on 
    another 3100.  The machine that is works on is a DEC 3100 color
    machine, the one that it doesn't work on is a DEC 3100s.  I thought
    that the machines were running different revs of ultix, but when I
    give the command
	/usr/ucb/strings /vmunix | grep 'Ultrix' >/tmp/t1
    both give the answer
        Ultrix Worksystem V2.1 (Rev. 14)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
