I got the following from DEC, and have tried it -- it works
for autologin from a DECSERVER 200 set as a dedicated service.
I think this for VMS 5.0-1 and up:


Modify ALFMAINT.COM to support a server/port format as the terminal
name.  Modify the following code:

  $do_term:
  $say ""
  $say "Enter the name of the terminal that you would like to set"
  $say "for automatic login, or a blank line or EXIT to exit."
  $say ""
  $ask term "Terminal (ddcu)? "
  $if term .eqs. "" then goto done
  $if f$locate(term,"EXIT") .eq. 0 then goto done
  $term = term - "_" - "_" - "_" - ":"
  $term = term + ":"
  $if .not. f$getdvi(term,"EXISTS") then goto e_notaterm
  $term = f$getdvi(term,"FULLDEVNAM")
  $if term .eqs. "" then goto do_term
  $short_term = f$getdvi (term, "DEVNAM") - "_" - "_" - "_"
  $phy_term = f$getdvi (term, "TT_PHYDEVNAM") - "_" - "_" - "_"
  $term = term - short_term + phy_term
  $if f$getdvi(term,"TRM") then goto get_user
  $e_notaterm:

to appear as follows:

  $do_term:
  $say ""
  $say "Enter the name of the terminal that you would like to set"
  $say "for automatic login, or a blank line or EXIT to exit."
  $say ""
  $ask term "Terminal (ddcu)? "
  $if term .eqs. "" then goto done
  $if f$locate(term,"EXIT") .eq. 0 then goto done
  $!
  $! modification to permit server/port terminal port names
  $!
  $term = f$edit(term,"UPCASE,TRIM")
  $!
  $! if the terminal name contains a slash, assume that it is a lat terminal
  $! port and server and therefore it must be valid...
  $!
  $if f$locate("/",term) .ne. f$length(term) then goto get_user
  $!
  $! end of modification to permit server/port terminal port names
  $!
  $term = term - "_" - "_" - "_" - ":"
  $term = term + ":"
  $if .not. f$getdvi(term,"EXISTS") then goto e_notaterm
  $term = f$getdvi(term,"FULLDEVNAM")
  $if term .eqs. "" then goto do_term
  $short_term = f$getdvi (term, "DEVNAM") - "_" - "_" - "_"
  $phy_term = f$getdvi (term, "TT_PHYDEVNAM") - "_" - "_" - "_"
  $term = term - short_term + phy_term
  $if f$getdvi(term,"TRM") then goto get_user
  $e_notaterm:

This modification will allow you to enter a terminal name in the
format "server/port" in response to ALFMAINT.COM's Terminal prompt.
