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. -- Jerry
