	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.
