	Here at SC we have a number of MicroVax GPX's used for various chores.
	Because they have no terminal lines (ignoring CSA0:, of course), most
	of us SET HOST to use them.

	What I would like to do is set the remote terminal (RTAxx:)
	/DISCONNECT, so we can disconnect while long jobs are running, and go
	hog some other machine.  However, VMS doesn't let you set either the
	template device (RTA0:) or your current device (RTAxx:) to
	/DISCONNECT.

	Is there any other way to do this?  It would be most handy.

There's no way to do this.  The driver for RT devices is not a terminal port
driver (it doesn't connect to TTDRIVER), and DISCONNECT is handled by
TTDRIVER.

About all I can suggest is a hack:  Get hold of the latest PT driver, recently
posted by Kevin Carosso, and log in twice, once on the RT, then through the
pseudo-terminal.  The second session can be set /DISCONNECT.
