   A quick puzzle.  I've connected our only DECserver-200, and I've
noticed the output from some programs is very jerky (at 9600 baud).
I've left most of the server parameters alone.  Reducing the circuit
timer from 80 to 40 ms does not help.  The server is connected via
DELNI to what must be the least-loaded ethernet cable in the world.
Error counts are very low over a period of several weeks, so there
is apparently no physical reason for this.  There is no lost data as
far as I can see.
   Connections made directly to the VAX (8600) do not show this symptom.
Even SET HOST 0 several times, and running through several layers of
DECnet doesn't produce the sort of output I'm seeing, so I'm reasonably
sure it is LAT related.

   Any suggestions will be persued.  Thanks as usual.
