LAT is _NOT_ part of DECnet.   LAT can be run without DECnet installed

Yeah, but most (actually, "all" I think) of the DECservers required MOP to
download them.   How did you do that without DECnet?   

Or was it just an unwritten catch-22 that you had to have a DECnet node
somewhere to boot up your terminal server, even if it wasn't the node you
actually wanted to connect to ?

Yeah, that does move a rather dark and rainy cloud over the parade.
