  In this paper we study $T^2$ compactification of 6-dimensional massive type
IIA supergravity in presence of
  Ramond-Ramond background fluxes. The resulting theory in four dimensions is
shown to possess $SL(2,R)\times SL(2,R)\times O(4,20)$ duality symmetry. It is
shown that specific elements of this symmetry relate massive type IIA
compactified on $K3\times T^2$ (with fluxes along $K3$) to the ordinary type
IIA compactified on $K3\times T^2$ (with fluxes along $T^2$). In turn, this
relationship is exploited to relate Romans theory to heterotic strings. The
D8-brane (domain-wall) wrapped on $K3\times T^2$ is related to {\it pure
gravity} heterotic solution which is a direct product of 6-dimensional flat
spacetime and a 4-dimensional Taub-NUT instanton.
