	What you need to do is set up GROUPS for the LAT DECSERVERS.
On each VAX that you want the DECSERVER to be able to talk to, modify
LTLOAD.COM to do the following

$ MCR LATCP
LCP> set node xxx/ident="VAX xxx "/nolog/ENABLE=(0,16)
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                        This is the list of groups that
                                        the node will serve.


then on the DECSERVER

Local> set priv
Password>   <--enter the server priv password here
Local>set port 1 groups 16 enabled
Local>define port 1 groups 16 enabled

repeat for each port on the server


note also that on a decserver 200, the default node limit is 100, but this
can be changed

Local>define server node limit none   
Local>set server node limit none

or in place on 'none' some number .
