Incorrect.
The official trademarked names of the various protocols are:
LASTport (aka LAST) - Local Area System Transport.
LASTport/Disk (aka LAD) - Local Area Disk protocol.
LASTport/Tape (aka LAP because LAT was already taken) - Local Area taPe protocol.
The software InfoServer does not implement LAP.
