[mod.computers.vax] server ids for LAT terminals

RE: recent requests from PDB@SEI.CMU.EDU and James Jones
<JAMES%VAXE.COE.NORTHEASTERN.EDU@RELAY.CS.NET>:
 
There have been two recent requests for info about how to determine which
server and port a LAT terminal (LTAxxx:) is actually related to...
 
I requested the same info about three months ago and got three programs
to do such, one of which we implemented and it works fine.  We modified
it to return the server name and port name in two DCL symbols, although
it be easily modified.
 
If you would like copies of any of the routines we received and the one
we now have in use, let me know...  note that because all three routines
go directly into the UCB (I believe), there is a chance they may cease to
function under a future release of VMS.  Oh well.
