Well, As I said in a previous article, I have managed to make this setup 
work without any real difficulty. I have run decnet out a lat port to a
decserver, out the rs232 port into the rs232 port of another decserver and
into a lat port on a second machine. I have also gone out a lat port
to a decserver, out the rs232 port to a telebit trailblazer @19.2Kbaud,
over phone lines to another trailblazer @19.2Kbaud and into a rs232 port
of a dzq11 on another microvax. With both connections, I transfered large
(over 10MB) files and used "set host" without any error counts in ncp
on either end.
