Format: START TRANSPORT /qualifier

 Start LASTDRIVER transport.  By default, LASTCP will initialize the first
 ethernet controller for LASTDRIVER.

 LASTCP will first try to start the device specified in the /DEVICE qualifier.
 If not specified, LASTCP will start the device specified in the LAST$DEVICE
 logical name.  Finally, if neither LAST$DEVICE nor /DEVICE are specified,
 LASTCP will attempt to start all ethernet device based on an internal table.

 The LAST transport should not be started until after DECnet has been
 started. If the LAST transport is started before DECnet, DECnet will
 fail to start properly.

1    /DEVICE

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT/DEVICE=(list-of-devices)

 Start the transport using the device(s) specified.  This qualifier
 will override LASTCP's default device table and the LAST$DEVICE logical
 name.

2    /TIMEOUT

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /TIMEOUT=n

 Specifies the minimum interval in seconds to be used by the server
 transport to determine when inactive clients should be disconnected.
 An inactive client is one that has been turned off or otherwise isolated
 from the server.

 By default, the server's timer is specified by the client transport.  This
 qualifier allows a minimum value to be enforced on all connections.

 n represents an integer in the range 60-65534 seconds.

3    /CIRCUIT_MAXIMUM

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /CIRCUIT_MAXIMUM=n

 Set the maximum number of nodes that may simultaneously be connected.

 The default maximum circuits is 80.

4    /GROUP

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /GROUP=n

 Grouping is a method for segmenting LANs such that services associated with
 certain nodes will not be by seen by other nodes.  An example of such an
 environment would be an extended LAN.  Here, a network manager may wish
 to restrict nodes to services offered on their own LAN segment.

 When specifying a group, the user should enter a number between 0 and 1023
 inclusive.  The default group is group zero.

5    /CHECKSUM

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /CHECKSUM

 Establish mandatory data checksumming for all messages exchanged
 between the current node and any remote node.  LASTDRIVER  computes a
 checksum for all messages, and verifies the checksum on all received
 messages.

6    /CONTROLLERS

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /CONTROLLERS=([{controller letter,}...])

 This qualifier allows the user to specify which Ethernet controllers
 are to be initialized for LASTDRIVER.  The default is to initialize the
 first ethernet controller.

 This qualifier may not be used if the /ALL_ETHERNET qualifier is used.

6.1  –  examples

 START TRANSPORT /CONTROLLERS=(A,B)

 This command instructs LASTCP to initialize controllers A and B with
 the LAST protocol.

 START TRANSPORT /CONTROLLERS=B

 This command instructs LASTCP to initialize controller B with the LAST
 protocol.

6.2  –  unit-names

 A unit name is of the form DDCU: where

   DD is the device type
    C is the controller field
    U is the unit number

 When specifying controllers for LASTDRIVER use the controller field of
 the unit name.

 XQA0 is controller A
 XEB0 is controller B

7    /ALL_CONTROLLERS

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /ALL_CONTROLLERS

 This qualifier instructs LASTCP to start the LAST protocol on all
 Ethernet adapters available.

 This qualifier may not be used if the /CONTROLLERS qualifier is
 used.

 The default is to start only the first ethernet controller.

8    /TRANSMIT_QUOTA

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /TRANSMIT_QUOTA=n

 This qualifier establishes the number of transmit buffers LASTDRIVER
 may use to communicate with a remote node.

 The default is to use 5 transmit buffers.

9    /SLOW_MODE

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /SLOW_MODE

 This qualifier instructs LASTDRIVER to require remote transmitters to
 use a TRANSMIT_QUOTA of 1 when communicating with this node.

 This qualifier is not normally used.

10    /NODE_NAME

 	Format:	START TRANSPORT /NODE_NAME=name

 This qualifier instructs LASTCP to initialize LASTDRIVER with the node
 name specified.

 If not specified, LASTCP will use the DECnet node name.
