What I would like to do login from my >terminal, and do a set host command thru VMS to connect to port 3. You create a dedicated port, like so: In SYS$MANAGER:LTLOAD.COM you put these lines, CREATE PORT LTA100: /NOLOG SET PORT LTA100: /APPLICATION /NODE=GASSRV /SERVICE=COURIER /NOQUEUE /NOLOG Substitute the node name of your terminal server for GASSRV and invent a service name (or use Courier). And then, in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM you put $! $! Set up Modem port on terminal server. $ SET TERMINAL /PERMANENT /MODEM /DIALUP /HANGUP - /ALTYPEAHD /HOSTSYNC LTA100: $ SET PROTECTION=W:R /DEVICE LTA100: Now you can do a SET HOST/DTE LTA100. ************************************************************************* * * * Here, there be dragons! * * dragon@nscvax.princeton.edu * * * * Richard B.
