SUMMARY: Connect from DECserver 100

Only two replies to this:

       Scott Ruch <swr_at_unx.dec.com>
  and Ralf - rp001ns_at_ccnmuc.net

suggested that the DECserver 100 might not have the same group codes
enabled as the LAT service on the UNIX server.

But both the DECserver port and cygnus have group 0 enabled, so that is
not the problem. (If it was, cygnus would not have appeared in the list
of services available, would it?)

So I'm still looking. Thanks anyway.
