The Sun DNI product we have doesn't support LAT, but does a good DECnet.

Ki Research protocol implementations can be purchased one protocol at a time
(i.e. LAT, or LAT and DECnet, or LAT and MOP, or LAT, DECnet and MOP, etc...)

sethost -lat is also supported...

reverse-LAT for printers does not yet support connection to service names, but
I'm told it is in/near beta test.

(disclaimer: just a happy Ki Research LAT customer).
