    ok, i give up.  how do you get virtual terminals running so you can
    disconnect/connect?  i've been told that it's a sysgen connect command,
    but i can't find it.
    
    
    
First, go into SYSGEN and issue the command:

	CONNECT VTA0/NOADAPTER/DRIVER=TTDRIVER

This brings the VT devices to life.  Now, for terminal nn to actually be
disconnectable, you need to do:

	SET TERM/DISCONNECT TTnn:

Usually, you set this up /PERMANENT for all terminals in your SYSTARTUP
file.

For LT devices (LAT terminals), which are created dynamically, you have to
turn on the disconnectable bit in the TT$DEVCHAR2 (I think) default
terminal attributes sysgen parameter.

All of this is discussed in the I/O User's Guide (in the section on terminals)
and in the Utility book under SYSGEN.
