We have the AlisaTalk package and AlisaTerm here on site. The Alisaterm we have is not an emulator. All it provides are some resources which can be installed into either Versaterm or Mac 240 (those 2 only) so that you can hook up to the vax that's running the decnet gateway via the Kinetics box. It's not particularly fast (pretty slow actually) and to be quite honest, if you've got a fastpath#4 and ethernet then you might as well go for NCSA Telnet which is free, fast and reliable and allows connection to
any machine with a Telnet service on the Ethernet.
