I am not sure if I understand your question completely, but I think I configure
them individually. Basically, it looks like this: (Only 3 transputers for simplicity)

connect 3 transputers as a triangle 
each transputer gets an edge for trace output
define a process myproc (input in[3], output out[3], ...)
Channels are mapped on the triangle, plus one to the edge (the first)
Each transputer gets one process using the same .lku

This way I can print trace output from all three transputers.
When I switch off tracing (i.e. don't call I/O-functions at all, except from the root)
I would expect the triangle to behave silent on the additional edges, thus
not requiring iservers there. I also tried to use main(void), but it still hangs.
Do I really have to use the reduced library, or is there a way around that ?
