Couldn't you just set priv's on the DECServer, and then do a DEFINE PORT
FLOW DISABLED??  Followed with a SET PORT FLOW DISABLED??  Of course maybe
I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do.

Which leads me to another question...

Are the IOCTL()'s that allow you to make a connection to a remote LAT port
documented anywhere??  Obviously lpd uses them, but I don't see any 
how-to's anywhere.
