Recently I posted a querie re LATCP booting DecServer (DS200MCs, I Love 'Em)
from the correct load host.
 
.. Trying to LOAD / TRIGGER ( from NCP ) on desired host ..

I offer this posting for two reasons.  (1) I am not able to respond and thank
Hannu Hirvonen in Vaasa, Finland whose first RIGHT answer reached me in less
than 12 hours from when I posted my question to netnews (USENET), directly.
(2) So many others of you kindly replied whom I could not hope to thank 
directly.  

My boss was impressed with the value of netnews. Thanks to all those who
responded.

RIGHT ANSWER: You don't have service enabled on MV2B's QNA-0 circuit/line. Do:

$ MCR NCP
NCP> DEFINE LINE QNA-0 SERVICE ENABLED
NCP> DEFINE CIRCUIT QNA-0 SERVICE ENABLED
NCP> SET LINE QNA-0 SERVICE ENABLED
NCP> SET CIRCUIT QNA-0 SERVICE ENABLED
NCP> EXIT

I did and it worked.

My STARTNET.COM, never learned the lines prefaced NCP>.  My database
DSVCONFIG.DAT was good, DECNET was running, I could inbound and outbound
LAT connect from DS200s, DEPCAs to/from MicroVAXen, just got ragged at
when trying to LOAD or TRIGGER from desired host.

If only DS200s spoke TELNET / RLOGIN, the garbage at this site could go
to the dump.  Thanks DEC for a GOOD product.  Always performs.
