Connect from DECserver 100

Hi managers,

Does anyone know if it is possible to connect to DUnix from a
DECserver 100? (Yes, I know they're ancient, but we have to keep using
them till we can afford something better...)

Scenario: We have a number of DECserver 100's and 200/MC's, which
download from an Ultrix box, dylan.

On cygnus (AlphaServer 2000 4/233 running DU 3.2C), I ran latsetup to
start lat and add the following entries to /etc/inittab:

  lat620:34:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/lat/620 console vt100
  lat621:34:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/lat/621 console vt100
      .
      .
  lat643:34:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/lat/643 console vt100

On the DECservers, the command "show services" lists the services on
both dylan and cygnus. From the 200's I can connect to both dylan and
cygnus, but from the 100's I can only connect to dylan. The command
"connect cygnus" gives the error

  Local -237- Connection to CYGNUS not established
              Access denied

which according to the DECserver manual means the connection request was
rejected by the service node.

I added some BSD style ttys just in case that was the problem (that's
what dylan has set up), but it made no difference. Is there something
else I need to do to grant access, or are the DECserver 100 just not up
to the job?

TIA, Helen
