This is done from LTLOAD.COM (LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM if you are running LATmaster). For example, I have the following lines in my LAT$SYSSTARTUP.COM file - $ lcp := $latcp $ lcp !start image and feed it commands ... ! Enable LAT server mode and user groups. SET NODE ALPHA /identification="DALLAS uVAX 3600"/connections=both/service ... CREATE PORT/APPLICATION/LOGICAL=(TABLE=SYSTEM,MODE=EXEC,NAME=DIAL)/nolog !this is a modem CREATE PORT/APPLICATION/LOGICAL=(TABLE=SYSTEM,MODE=EXEC,NAME=SWBELL_1)/nolog !this is a modem CREATE PORT/APPLICATION/LOGICAL=(TABLE=SYSTEM,MODE=EXEC,NAME=SWBELL_2)/nolog !this is a modem SET PORT DIAL /APPL /node=HNT500 /SERVICE=DL.MOD24 - /noqueue /NOLOG SET PORT SWBELL_1 /APPL /node=HNT500 /SERVICE=DL.MOD24 - /noqueue /NOLOG SET PORT SWBELL_2 /APPL /node=HNT500 /SERVICE=DL.MOD24 - /noqueue /NOLOG Before we had LAT master I defined logical names for these ports as follows: define/sys/exec DIAL LTA9200: define/sys/exec SWBELL_1 lta9201: define/sys/exec swbell_2 lta9202: and used similar commands in LTLOAD.com These ports can be used with SET HOST/DTE, KERMIT, DECUS UUCP, Alisa's EASYLINK CONNECTION and probably a bunch more. I also use SET HOST/LAT fairly often, but that doesn't help when you are trying to set up UUCP. > >And how to tell VMS which device.
