The last time I looked at Eunice (about a year ago), it required terminal
names to be defined in a logical name table (usually system). If the terminal
name wasn't defined, you could do some things but not others, because it
didn't recognise the device as a terminal. As I recall, it wasn't too much
of a handicap for what I was doing (which wasn't much).
 
If you can pin a LAT port down to a particular number and define that as
TTYnn in your logical name table, you should be fine. If it can be done
for a printer it can probably be done for something used as a regular
terminal.
