At one time I tried hooking up a ASYNC DECNET link over a Decserver 200
and reverse LAT.  Things would start up ok, but the link with shut down
whenever anything real was transmitted over the link.

I think the problem was that the DECserver didn't relay the information
fast enough (even at 300 baud)  I stopped trying it when we bought a 
DECrouter 200, but still work on it from time to time.  

I did try using a LTA device once.... it crashed the VAX (stack overflow),
(VMS 4.4) and havn't tried it recently.  My instructor at DECNET VAX internals
(see, you can get things out of those classes)  thinks it should be possible
but hasn't tried it.

hope this helps...
