Well, I think the comment did run out from the DECrepeater topic, and 
not DECservers...

Looking at the DECserver 90, the letters there might stand for LAT and 
telnet, with some generous interpretation that M would then be 
LAT+telnet+then some.
Of course, you then have the TM...

And to confuse it more, the 200 came in either MC or DL, which was modem 
control and data leads only (or rather MMJ).

And other odd variations exist as well, so the naming scheme is far from 
simple and obvious.
